Detailed support results by expectation

Expectation for the columnheader role: convey its name

This expectation is from the columnheader role feature.

Rationale:

A user needs to know the name of the header

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: NA

Examples:

A screen reader might say something like "Column 3, <header name>"

Grading method:

Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

Expectation for the columnheader role: convey its role

This expectation is from the columnheader role feature.

Rationale:

A user needs to be able to determine what headers apply to a given cell.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: NA

Examples:

A screen reader might say something like "Column 3, <header name>"
A screen reader might imply the role by conveying the header name when the moving between columns

Grading method:

Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

Expectation for the grid role: convey its role

This expectation is from the grid role feature.

Rationale:

A screen reader user needs to be aware that they are entering a grid so that they know that grid keyboard commands are available.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: NA

Examples:

Screen readers might convey the role as something like "grid"

Grading method:

Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

Expectation for the grid role: switch to interaction mode

This expectation is from the grid role feature.

Rationale:

Grids are usually navigated via arrow keys, so those keys presses need to be sent directly to the browser and not intercepted by the screen reader.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: SHOULD
Voice Control: NA

Examples:

Screen readers might convey an earcon when the mode switches
Arrow keys will work for navigation without manually switching modes

Grading method:

Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

Expectation for the grid role: convey boundaries

This expectation is from the grid role feature.

Rationale:

Screen reader users need to know when they enter and exist a grid

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: NA

Examples:

Screen readers might say something like "entering grid" and "exiting grid"

Grading method:

All of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

Expectation for the gridcell role: convey its role

This expectation is from the gridcell role feature.

Rationale:

A screen reader user needs to know how they can interact with the element. Voice control software might use the role to help users activate controls that do not have a visible name.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: MUST

Examples:

A screen reader might announce "grid cell"
A screen reader might announce "cell"
A screen reader might imply the role by announcing other grid semantics

Grading method:

Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.
