           Summary: input type=date datepicker not keyboard or VoiceOver
                    accessible in Chrome Canary
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
               URL: http://slides.html5rocks.com/#new-form-types
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.7
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: paul.adam at deque.com


Chrome Version       : Version 20.0.1105.0 canary
URLs (if applicable) : http://slides.html5rocks.com/#new-form-types

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Visit http://slides.html5rocks.com/#new-form-types, enable VoiceOver if wanting to test screen reader accessibility
2. Tab to input type=date example
3. Attempt to activate date picker by pressing arrow keys, enter key, tab key, or next item VoiceOver gesture

What is the expected result?
Date picker should open and be navigable with the keyboard and usable for someone who is blind using VoiceOver.

What happens instead?
Nothing, it is not possible to activate the date picker with the keyboard or VoiceOver gestures. You have to use a mouse which is not accessible. Even if the mouse is used to activate the date picker the picker itself is still not accessible to VoiceOver.
