CKEditor 3.0 : Ok/Cancel buttons are not working in Dialogs

[Senthil]

When the JAWS is on, tab through the dialog(ex: Link or Image), once the focus moved to the ok/cancel press enter. This action should close or display some message but nothing happends.

This is reproducible in the sample html file provided by you. Sample File Used: replacebyclass.html

Ok. This is again due to JAWS's virtual cursor needing to be updated by the user (Insert+Esc). If the user presses Insert+Esc every time a dialog is opened and closed (i.e. to use a table dialog, user would have to open table dialog -> Insert+Esc -> Ok/Cancel -> Insert+Esc -> Continue using editor), then the buttons would always work correctly.

Turns out this is a common problem with JavaScript-based dynamic content in webpages and screenreaders. ​http://juicystudio.com/article/making-ajax-work-with-screen-readers.php

We cannot force JAWS's virtual cursor to be updated from JavaScript. But we can inform the user to update his virtual cursor by putting a very short duration (200ms is enough on my computer) focus into a hidden element containing some text to be announced with voice.

Added the screenreader plugin, which is a way to direct JAWS to read out some text just before the HTML content is updated.

This is a critical issue for Oracle's integration effort, so raising it to high priority.

I think we should take another direction for this fix. As Martin described, this is not really broken. It's just a matter of having the virtual cursor refreshed. So, what we really need is a way to inform visual impaired users that they have to do that. So, user documentation should be enough for it.

We're not anymore having issues with this with CKEditor 3.2. Can you please confirm it?
