Maheswara Sunkara commented on RF-11841:
----------------------------------------

Please make sure all clickable text generated by Richfaces components are key board accessible and readable by screen reader.
Following are some of the accessibility issues I am facing:
1. Search results generated by rich:tree are not accessible by keyboard
2. Modal panel: form elements in the Modal panel are not accessible by key board

> Accessibility of web applications is define in the US by [section 508|http://www.section508.gov/], and in the EU by the [Web Accessibility Policy|http://europa.eu/geninfo/accessibility_policy_en.htm].
> Writing accessible application is really about the design of the application itself.  We should however ensure that we are not providing components that inhibit the creation of an accessible application.
