Accessibility with JAWS 15.0

CMPA_Jesse

Hi,
I'm trying to get the JAWS screen reader to read the data from the DataTable but it will only read the headers? Is it supposed to be this way or is there something I'm doing wrong. I have not touched any of the options and it is the basic data table from the manual. But I tested the ones on the website with firefox and chrome and I could not get them to work either.

What version are you using of DataTables? 1.10 should be readable with JAWS.

I believe I am using DataTables 1.10

    <!-- DataTables CSS -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="DataTables-1.10.0/media/css/jquery.dataTables.css">

    <!-- jQuery -->
    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf8" src="DataTables-1.10.0/media/js/jquery.js"></script>

    <!-- DataTables -->
    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf8" src="DataTables-1.10.0/media/js/jquery.dataTables.js"></script>

I'll get JAWS installed again on my Windows machine when I get a chance and give it a prod. Until then, if anyone else is reading, can you confirm if this works or not for you?

Thanks,
Allan

Hi Allan,

Even I am using DataTables 1.10.2, and trying to get the JAWS screen reader to read the data from the DataTable but it's reading only headers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
