Advanced search rows/headings (OPAC)

[Allison Matherne]

NVDA cannot distinguish between rows or move from one to the next once multiples are added. One good way to solve this is to make each row a fieldset with a legend of “Row 1”, “Row 2” etc. Screen readers will then speak the row number when navigating the form. However NVDA lacks a default keybinding to move between fieldsets (which it calls “groupings”) and I’m unsure of whether other screen readers can navigate between them, so you may also want to add invisible (screen-reader-only) headings before each new row.

Equinox is working on this with funding from BC Libraries Cooperative. Bugs were identified by testers from Canada's National Network for Equitable Library Service (NNELS) working on Evergreen 3.12.
