Detailed support results by expectation
Expectation for the aria-busy attribute: convey the "false" value - applied to the div element
This expectation is applied to the div element. Expectations and results might differ when the the feature is applied to different roles.
This expectation is from the aria-busy attribute feature.
Rationale:
Screen reader users need to be aware that content is not busy and thus ready to use.
Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:
- Screen Readers: MUST
- Voice Control: NA
Examples:
- Screen readers might imply the false value by not hiding the element.
Grading method:
Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.
