Hi Yudi

Thanks for your reply in regard to Section 508 standards.

Please could you also advise if it is possible to invoke the Save functionality using the keyboard.

Thanks

WebGrid.NET Enterprise fully implements the support for Section 508 Standards in the following provision:

Provision 1194.22 – About Data Table Headers & Associations

Row and column headers should be identified for data tables.
Column headers should be in the same table structure as the table’s content (rows).
Markup shall be used to associate data cells and header cells for data tables that have two or more logical levels of row or column headers.

Objectives

Allows Web developers with their assistive technology to build solution using WebGrid.NET Enterprise for supporting people with visual disabilities.
Allow users of screen readers to interpret table data efficiently.

Please could you advise if it is possible to use WebGrid by solely using the keyboard?

I have looked at the WebGrid Enterprise demo (Bug Tracker - http://live.intersoftpt.com/Default.aspx?url=cs/WebGrid/ClientBinding_BatchUpdate.aspx) and am unable to invoke any of the functions on the bottom menu (Accept All Changes, Undo All Changes, etc) using the keyboard.

Also does the Webgrid component conform to any accessibility standards? Do you know if it works with any screen readers or speech interfaces.

Many Thanks
