Does CEF3 support JAWS and accessibility standards?

[robind336]

Hi,

I tried using JAWS in my application which is using CEF 3 as the embedded browser. Thought its recognizing certain input fields like buttons and link titles, but many things that is accessible in Chrome Deskptop Browser, I am not able to see same for my application.
Looks like there is a difference in the JAWS support I see for Chrome deskptop browser and for CEF 3.

Please note i am using the following line in OnBeforeCommandLineProcessing
commandLine.AppendSwitch(@"--force-renderer-accessibility");

Kindly reply.

Screen readers are generally supported. What OS and CEF3 version are you testing with?

Hi Magreen,

I am using the .NET Wrapper Xilium which is using CEF3 3.2171.1875.
OS I am using Windows 7.

How does it behave with the branch 2171 test app available from http://cefbuilds.com?

Hi Magreen,

I tried with the test app of CEF 2171 branch. JAWS is working fine on the test app.
Now when i try Cef's .NET wrapper Xilium's Demo App that is linked to same exact CEF libs of 2171 branch, i find that its not working properly with JAWS.

Can you tell me what might be going wrong here.

Sounds like a problem with the .Net wrapper. That's a separate project. I would suggest contacting them for assistance.
