Yes I did. But not all users will have Windows 7. The problem is, we are being audited by the DOJ and we need to meet WCAG 2.0 AA for all users. Most people use the tab key to navigate the page without a mouse. It would be nice if I could find a simple solution that is intuitive to the user to tab into the map, bring it into focus, and navigate using the +/- and arrow keys. Like I stated in my original post, adding the tabindex to the map div and calling focus on the map container sort of works. but only when the mouse is hovering over the map. Also it seems like I need to select the div with the enter key and tab down with the down arrow until the map itself comes into focus. This is not a user friendly solution. If anyone else has a better way, I would love to hear it. ... View more

Everyone has provided some interesting discussion about ArcGIS Online. But I really need a solution that is easy and intuitive for navigating the map via keyboard only that works in the JavaScript API. ... View more

Yes, we are using the WAB Developer Edition. but you are limited to what you can modify. ESRI does not seem to provide full access to all the source code. ... View more

I do appreciate all the information and replies. Unfortunately, we were "randomly selected" to be audited from the US Department of Justice. Their initial agreement they sent us was super strict and required 100& compliance within 3 months. Thankfully we were able to negotiate the timeline but we really couldn't get them to budge on the requirements. For the most part, ESRI has done a good job with making ArcGIS Online compliant. There are just certain things that could easily be fixed on their end, that makes life very difficult to developers. For example, the search <input> box for the geolocator does not have a label. Certain widgets do not have roles. The site does not have a language code. No Landmarks are defined. These are just a few issues I have found. And maybe I am being naïve, but I am finding it difficult to access the embedded DOM elements that do not have an id. ... View more

Steve, I appreciate your reply, but... I have some very customized applications that are not easy to duplicate in ArcGIS Online. For example, when a user selects a tax parcel, I do some advanced queries to display a table with all the tax information, along with the taxing districts that spatially intersects the parcel, and additional information contained in separate SDE tables and layers. Sure I could add all the layers, turn on the popups and force the user to tab through all the popups. But that is not as user friendly as displaying all the information in a nicely formatted table. Additionally, most of the issues I have with the JavaScript API also come up as errors in ArcGIS Online. As a matter of fact, there are even more issues with ArcGIS Online maps because I find them difficult to customize and even when using the Web App Builder for Developers, we don't have access to all the source code. So, I really don't understand how ESRI can claim ArcGIS Online is Section 508 compliant. You still cannot navigate the map with the keyboard unless the mouse is hovering over the map. What if the user does not have a mouse due to limited mobility? This is even an issue with the WCAG Application Template. I think ESRI needs to test some of their applications with some of the ADA heuristic tools available (such as AInspector, WAVE, etc...) and clean up their code to meet the standards we are being forced to comply with. ...

Thank you Kelly Hutchins‌ for the reply! I will look forward to this fix in the next release! ... View more

Kelly Gerrow, This is just a test website... http://www.maps.ccgisc.org/test/ A sample address location: 204 s urbana ave A sample intersection location: main and poplar The locators and the widget works fine on a desktop in a internet explorer. Just tested... the widget does not provide a drop down to select the locator type and all searches return "location not found" on a desktop in firefox and chrome. The same thing happens in all mobile web browsers that I have tested so far. (However they do work in a custom mobile application we are developing) Thanks, Kathleen ... View more

my apologies, the event that is fired that causes this error is the "focusin" event. (not mousedown) this fails when the srcElement is an Object with null id and tagName. I am uncertain which elements would cause the tagName to be null. ... View more

This error just started happening for me in the last week or two. After doing more testing this morning, it seems this error occurs only when I am debugging my site in Visual Studio. And I am not able to reproduce this error when I am not in debug mode. It is very strange... My site is an ASP site (written in C#) using the html5 DOCTYPE. I also use the following meta tag to fix a bunch of display issues that occur in IE. <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9"> ... View more

I am running into this issue in version 3.6 also. The error occurs in IE only. The error message is as follows: Unhandled exception at line 34, column 95354 in http://js.arcgis.com/3.6/init.js 0x800a138f - JavaScript runtime error: Unable to get property 'toLowerCase' of undefined or null reference I have a lot of trouble reading these minified javascript files, but I think it is triggered by the mouse down event. Here is a screenshot of the break point in visual studio. And here is line in error with the prior line that attaches a mouse down event if using IE browser. (doc){if(has("ie")){_320.document.body.attachEvent("onmousedown",_323);var _324=function(evt){var tag=evt.srcElement.tagName.toLowerCase();if(tag=="#document"||tag=="body"){return;} The code should test if evt.srcElement.tagName is null before applying the toLowerCase() method. Maybe they could do something like this: var tag=evt.srcElement.tagName;if(tag==null||tag.toLowerCase()=="#document"||tag.toLowerCase()=="body"){return;} I hope the ESRI Development Team is able to resolve the issue for all versions of the API. Because I do not want to store a local copy of the API on my server. ... View more
