Currently the DHTML date picker widget (for example the date field on /artefact/plans/edit/task.php) is not easy to navigate using a screen reader.
- it opens below all other elements and does not have focus set to it - this is confusing for screen reader users since activating the button appears to do nothing
- it has null alt-text, resulting in screen readers finding a variety of unrelated bits of text to read out as the title
Eventually the date picker should be made accessible by having focus locked to it while it is open (using ARIA) but for now it would be fine to disable it (somehow) for screen reader users since it's possible to enter the date in the right format by hand.
Affects latest master (using Orca 3.4.2)
