[Vtigercrm-developers] Any plans to increase VTiger's accessibility?

[Alex Hall]

Hi all,
I'm just curious about plans to increase Vtiger's compatibility with screen
readers. I've found that it lacks labels for most form fields, has no title
on the menu button, doesn't expose the admin menu toggle as anything more
than a blank clickable control, and has other issues. I haven't yet opened
any tickets about this. I wondered if it was already planned, and thought
I'd check here first.

Such problems strike me as odd, since Vtiger seems to do a lot right. For
instance, the admin menu's items are identified as menu items, ARIA is used
to tell screen readers if an item is expanded or collapsed, NVDA announces
the status of actions like adding custom fields, and I find label elements
throughout the code I've looked at. Yet plenty of key accessibility points
aren't working, while some others are great. I'm just wondering where the
developers are on this topic. Thanks. Oh, I should say I'm using NVDA
2017.4 under Firefox 57.0.1 for these tests.
