Screen reader not announcing errors on Web forms

[bsw2112]

When some required fields are left empty on a form and I press submit the screen reader in JAWS does not automatically read
the heading: The form could not be submitted because 2 errors were found.

I must first press the arrow down key once at which point it will read it. If should read it as soon as the form is submitted.
It works correctly here https://wet-boew.github.io/wet-boew/demos/formvalid/formvalid-en.html but not when WET is loaded via CTDS
Thanks

Hello, I'll investigate this. Do you have a link to a site that has this issue?

Hello Ahmad

Here is a sample: https://www.sac-isc.gc.ca/eng/1585664064807/1585678941114

I am running JAWS version 2023.2311.34
When I leave the two fields empty and press submit I see the error message but I need to press the arrow down key once to hear the heading: The form could not be submitted because 2 errors were found

However when I go to the WET examples here: https://wet-boew.github.io/wet-boew/demos/formvalid/formvalid-en.html#wb-cont
The screen reader reads the error out right away. "The form could not be submitted because 9 errors were found."

This is affecting all our Internal forms.

Thanks

Hi, would you be able to test the following pages to see if it has the correct behaviour?

https://cenw-wscoe.github.io/sgdc-cdts/docs/cdts-form.html

Hi Ahmad

I have sent the links to our visually impaired employee to review each of the three links. As soon as I hear back I will reply with the results

Thanks!

Hi Ahmad

From what I am told the links you provided have not rectified the issue
I had a visually impaired user test it and one of the developers too
The dev provided a video recording of what he hears - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cR26Pw4GV24

The dev created a hack to fix this for our Intranet so if you wanted to know more about what he did please let me know
