Detailed support results by expectation

Expectation for the aria-placeholder attribute: contribute to the accessible name - applied to the input[type="text"] element

This expectation is applied to the input[type="text"] element. Expectations and results might differ when the the feature is applied to different roles.

This expectation is from the aria-placeholder attribute feature.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: SHOULD
Voice Control: SHOULD

Examples:

Screen readers should use aria-placeholder as the field name when no other labelling method is applied
Speech interfaces should use aria-placeholder to identify / activate a field when no other labelling method is applied

Grading method:

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

Expectation for the aria-placeholder attribute: convey aria-placeholder for text field with no value - applied to the input[type="text"] element

This expectation is applied to the input[type="text"] element. Expectations and results might differ when the the feature is applied to different roles.

This expectation is from the aria-placeholder attribute feature.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: NA

Examples:

Screen readers announce aria-placeholder when a labelled, empty text field receives focus

Grading method:

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