Submit button to be accessible using keyboard

    Hi, the site I’m working on requires Sect 508 compliance, and X Form is flagged for not having a standard submit button. The code shows that the submit button uses div element which is not interactive with the keyboard. Form submission function should use <button> or <input> element which have built-in keyboard interaction. I hope this can be improved in the next update. Unfortunately I may have to find alternative solution after spending the time to configure and customize Form X.

    Thank you.

    Thanks for reporting this, I will swap out the div for an actual button in the next plugin update. Cheers, Steven.

    Thanks for the speedy response, Jeff. If the update comes in the next few days, that would save me a lot of work not having to start over again using a different form.

    cheers

    Always glad to help, Steven. I wish I could drop everything and skip the holidays to work on this, but it’s gonna have to wait until the next scheduled update. It sounds simple to replace a div with a button, but there’s actually a lot more going on with the Ajax, etc. So will require a fair amount of time to implement and test everything.

    Hi Steven, as explained, it’s gonna have to wait until the next scheduled update. At that time I’ll take a closer look and see if feasible. No promises though, it all depends on what’s required and how much time, etc.

    Just to follow up with this, the submit and reset buttons now are actual button elements. This is implemented in CFX version 2.7. Should be available later today or tomorrow. Thanks again for reporting this, Steven.

    Thanks for the update, Jeff.

    I just tested my form with updated version, and using the keyboard to send form is working as expected. The form is now ADA compliant! Thanks for your work. Appreciate it.
