Detailed support results by expectation

Expectation for the aria-required attribute: convey the "true" value - applied to the radiogroup role

This expectation is applied to the radiogroup role. Expectations and results might differ when the the feature is applied to different roles.

This expectation is from the aria-required attribute feature.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

  • Screen Readers: MUST
  • Voice Control: NA

Examples:

  • If applied to a single control, a screen reader might announce that control as required
  • If applied to a group of controls, such as a radio group, the screen reader might announce the required state on the group, and the required state will be implied for the controls.
  • If applied to a group of controls, such as a radio group, the screen reader might announce the first control as required, and the required state will be implied for the rest.
  • If applied to a group of controls, such as a radio group, the screen reader might announce the each control as required.

Grading method:

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

Expectation for the radiogroup role: convey its role

This expectation is from the radiogroup role feature.

Rationale:

A screen reader user needs to be aware that elements are within a group

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

  • Screen Readers: MUST
  • Voice Control: NA

Examples:

  • The role name is announced when entering the group.
  • If focus is outside of the group, then the accessible name of the group is announced when focus jumps to a control within the group.

Grading method:

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

Expectation for the radiogroup role: convey the boundaries of the group

This expectation is from the radiogroup role feature.

Rationale:

A screen reader user needs to be aware when they enter and exit a group

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

  • Screen Readers: MUST
  • Voice Control: NA

Examples:

  • In reading mode, there might be a stop for both the start end end of the group. When entering the group, something like "group name, group" might be announced. When leaving the group, something like "end of group" might be announced.
  • In reading mode, there might not be a stop for the start and end of the group. In this case, the screen reader might announce the group name when the user navigates to the first child and announce that the user is leaving the group when the user navigates out of the group.
  • In interaction mode, there will not be a stop for the start and end of the group. In this case, the screen reader might announce the group name when the user jumps to an interactive child and announce that the user is leaving the group when the user jumps out of the group.

Grading method:

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