Accessible Web Calendar for Everybody<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Catching up accessibility update of dhtmlxGantt<\/a>, the same features appear in dhtmlxScheduler. Starting from 4.4, you can make use of WAI-ARIA, keyboard navigation and high-contrast skins when creating accessible web applications with scheduler. <\/p>\n

WAI-ARIA support<\/strong> in dhtmlxScheduler is developed based on W3C standards, and it gives the people who use screen readers ability to reach all the calendar features.<\/p>\n

With keyboard navigation<\/strong> enabled, you can navigate the calendar without mouse pointers just by means of keyboard shortcuts. We provide a set of predefined shortcuts, but you can easily extend that list based on your needs. Find out more information in our docs<\/a> or try yourself<\/a>.<\/p>\n
