textarea - no announcement of maxlength #300

Open kolaps33 opened 4 years ago

kolaps33 commented 4 years ago

Summary

JAWS doesn't stops announcing typed characters after max length of text area was reached.

Example:

Put html example fragment into any html page. Open it in browser
Navigate into the textarea
type more characters then is maxlength
keep typing even you will hit maxlenght

Expected result

It is up to reader to consider what is the best. At least JAWS could stops narrating characters as they are typed. (at least it is what voiceOver does when max length is reached)

Actual result

JAWS continues to narrate characters as they are typed. There is no way for the user to know that the characters are being discarded.

Example

`<!DOCTYPE html>

` ### Additional Information #### JAWS version and build number 2019.1907.42 #### Operating System and version OS10 #### Browser and version: Chrome 76

The problem occurs not only with textarea, but also with input type=text (and also with other browsers).

An enhancement request has been made internally with bug #104711

This continues to be an issue in JAWS23. Can we find out when it will be addressed?

stevefaulkner commented 4 months ago

Still an issue in JAWS 2024

BrettLewisVispero commented 4 months ago

We have tried to address this one a couple of times and not come up with a satisfactory implementation. Maybe not echoing chars would be better than nothing.

Imported into ADO as bug 79622

Hello Team, Is JAWS team working on this bug as it's been move to triaged status?

If you can share in which release we are expecting this issue would addressed in JAWS.
Also, would be it fixed for other types of input like input[type='text'] ?

BrettLewisVispero commented 3 months ago

Hi, We do have a fix for this in our internal builds. I think it will be in the July release of JAWS depending on testing. We are generically looking for the maxlength attribute so any field that supports this should work.

Hi @BrettLewisVispero - Can you please provide an update on this item and whether it will be remediated in the July release? Lots of eyes on this one! TY!

BrettLewisVispero commented 1 month ago

Yes, this should be available in the July update for Chrome. We are not able to access the maxlength attribute in Firefox.

Kseleny commented 1 month ago

That is fantastic news! Can you please confirm the release date for me? We plan to do validation testing here at Salesforce ASAP after the feature is live. TY!!

@BrettLewisVispero we are also keeping a close eye on this, any update on that release date? Is this update based on a Chrome release? OR a JAWS Release?

BrettLewisVispero commented 1 month ago

The just released July JAWS update should have the maxlength support in Chrome. Please let me know if it isn't working for some reason.
