  Hey,

  We are currently implementing accessibility standards as defined by WCAG, using Axe DevTools as a guideline. I have encountered an issue with the input date time, when the input is expanded, it is rendered outside the main body of the page, and causing an accessibility issue of not having a landmark role. I am able to attach a landmark role (although this seems incorrect, as there are no appropriate roles and I believe the dropdown should be nested within the main body of the page). Doing this causes further accessibility issues when the Time picker is open; as it is the listbox options (the times to select) expect the parent element to have a certain role (‘listbox’, or ‘group’). Is this an issue you are aware of / intend to fix?

  This is how the elements look, and demonstrates how the dropdown is rendered outside the main body.

  Hi Jacob,

  At present, all the dropdown elements are rendered outside the control due to the current architecture of the Wijmo controls. I’m actively investigating your issue and exploring options to improve accessibility. I’ll keep you updated on any progress or solutions as soon as possible.

  Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

  Best regards.
