Detailed support results by expectation

Expectation for the aria-flowto attribute: let a user navigate to elements that target the current element. If this functionality is provided and the there are multiple targeting elements, the user must be able to choose which one to navigate to. - 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-flowto attribute feature.

Rationale:

The reading order goes both directions, and a user needs to be able to travel backwards through their chosen reading order.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: NA

Grading method:

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

Expectation for the aria-flowto attribute: convey that another element flows to the current element - 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-flowto attribute feature.

Rationale:

The reading order goes both directions, and a user needs to be aware of the alternate reading order so that they can invoke the functionality.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: NA

Grading method:

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