Improved accessibility for tab key navigation in tables

When using the tab key to navigate to the first cell in a table, the cell itself was taking focus instead of the link and the link did not open when 'enter' was hit. Instead, hitting tab a second time opened the link. By default, the standard was to have tabIndex set on the first cell of every row for accessibility so the link inside the cell gets the next level of focus. To resolve the navigation issue and avoid user confusion, while adding `tabIndex` to first cell of every row, the system will check for focusable content and avoid adding `tabIndex` to `td`.

Check added to resolve Ajax Container instantiation error in log

When using the Microsoft Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge browsers, manually launching a Service Intent and clicking the F5 refresh button properly refreshed the screen, but the PegaRULES log file contained the error "(DynamicContainerDataModel) Error occurred while instantiating tab for the thread index." This issue / exception was observed only when pzCustomDCTabHeader was configured (pyEnableCustomTabHeaders) and when there was a AjaxContainer configured in the document.

Custom error label styles work for 'required'

When using the default 'required' error message, the class "labelError" is added when the required field is empty. However, when the default 'required' is replaced by a custom error message, a UI error was seen because the class "labelError" was not added when the field was empty. This was traced to an error in the non-template to template code transform, and has been resolved by updating webwb_pzpega_ui_dlcelltemplate_js to add the labelError class based on the presence of an error message.

Corrected refresh section for grid dropdown using Google Chrome

When using the Google Chrome browser on a Windows machine, an incorrect click event fired when dropdown options were changed inside a grid was causing refresh section to not work properly. This has been resolved by suppressing the 'click' action on dropdown in the 'ui_events.js' file.

Calendar AM/PM corrected for Chinese locale

When using the Chinese locale (zh_CN), opening a calendar control in the Report definition to select filter values resulted in the Calendar tab dropdown showing "上午" (AM) when the system time was in "下午" (PM). Investigation showed that when generating a non-auto date time control, ampm text (i.e. string value) was compared with the generated select component using locale specific values which did not match any time, so AM was always selected as it was the first value in the dropdown.

Resolved duplicate messages from HarnessErrorList section

When using pyCaseErrorSection to call HarnessErrorList and display any errors on Clipboard page, when the Clipboard page had more than one error then the error message was shown multiple times. This has been resolved by adding a check that will iterate through the errors to see if it is present on the page already. If it is present it will be ignored, and if it is not present, then it will be added.

Layout Group (Tab) keyboard navigation behavior made consistent

When using keyboard navigation for Layout Groups (tab), arrow keys (up/down/left/right) are used to navigate the tabs once focus is set on the first tab, and the tab contents of each tab is opened automatically. It was noted that pressing tab a few more times caused the second tab to gain focus, but the contents of the tab did not open automatically or when enter was pressed, which was unexpected behavior. For accessibility best practices, tab focus should not be allowed on tab groups.

Check added for Turkish locale in Firefox

When using Firefox in the Turkish locale, attempting to open worklist subsets or edit tables in a modal dialogue caused the browser to hang. This was traced to the character conversion process in the browser and has been resolved with the addition of a check.
