Need help regarding the Screen Reader Accessibility of the Data Table

RaviTeja_94

Hi Forum,

I've implemented the data tables in my application using the DataTables library. According to the Data Tables 1.9 version features, it offers Zero Configurations table in terms of Accessibility.

But When tested using the JAWS (Screen reader 18.0.4104 version), I've observed the following issue

1.When the table Headers first cell is focused, JAWS reading the row,column count twice i.e column1row1, column1row1 where column,row count is expected only once.

Issue can be replicated on the Data table present in this URL https://datatables.net/beta/1.9/examples/basic_init/zero_config.html

Please help me out. Thanks in Advance.

Hi @RaviTeja_94 ,

1.9 is a very old release - I'd suggest first upgrading to the most recent (1.10.19) and see if the problem still occurs.

Cheers,
