alert message displayed from client side validation not announced by Jaws screenreader
Hello,
The default alert message 'Please correct flagged fields before submitting the form!', that is displayed when client side validation is not met, is not announced by the Jaws screen reader.
Currently, Jaws will only announce:
"<host name> says dialog OK Button To activate press spacebar."
The expectation is for Jaws to announce:
"<host name> says dialog. 'Please correct flagged fields before submitting the form! OK Button To activate press spacebar."

Hello,
Would anyone be able to provide feedback on how to ensure Jaws is able to read the text within a browser alert dialog that is triggered via client side validation?

Hello,
This current issue occurs with Jaws 2019 and 2020. Would anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue of Jaws not announcing text within the browser alert dialog triggered by client side validation on a form field?

Hi Regina,
This could very well be a Pega/JAWS issue. Please follow the below articles and see if any of these match your Pega version.
Thanks!
