Detailed support results by expectation

Expectation for the dd element: convey its role

This expectation is from the dd element feature.

Rationale:

A user needs to be able to distinguish between a description term and its description.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: NA

Examples:

A screen reader might announce an element as something like "<name>, <role>"
A screen reader might imply the role by the presence of certain context roles
Voice Control software might let the user say something like "click, <role>".
Voice Control software might let the user say something like "show numbers", and interactive roles will be flagged with numbers.

Grading method:

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

Expectation for the dd element: convey the position in set information

This expectation is from the dd element feature.

Rationale:

A user needs to where the position is in the list

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: NA

Examples:

A screen reader might convey the position of each item in the list as something like "x of y" where y is the number of items in the list.
A screen reader might convey each term and description pair as a single item, or as separate items. For example, a screen reader might convey the size of a list of 3 pairs as either 3 or 6.

Grading method:

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

Expectation for the dl element (description list): convey its role

This expectation is from the dl element (description list) 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: NA

Examples:

A screen reader might convey the role as "description list" when first entering the list.

Grading method:

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

Expectation for the dl element (description list): convey the boundaries of the element

This expectation is from the dl element (description list) feature.

Rationale:

A user needs to know when they enter and exit an element

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: NA

Examples:

A screen reader might announce the role of the element when entering and say something like "leaving" when exiting.
A screen reader might not explicitly announce entering and existing the element, but instead imply that the is in the containing object by conveying the roles of required children (options in a listbox for example).
A screen reader might announce position in set information such as "1 of 6".
A screen reader might not convey boundaries if the content fits on a single line

Grading method:

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

Expectation for the dl element (description list): convey the number of items in the list

This expectation is from the dl element (description list) feature.

Rationale:

A user needs to be able to understand how many pairs or items are in the list.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: NA

Examples:

A screen reader might convey the position of each item in the list as something like "x of y" where y is the number of items in the list.
A screen reader might convey each term and description pair as a single item, or as separate items. For example, a screen reader might convey the size of a list of 3 pairs as either 3 or 6.
A screen reader might convey the number of items in the list when first entering the list.

Grading method:

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

Expectation for the dt element: convey its role

This expectation is from the dt element feature.

Rationale:

A user needs to be able to distinguish between a description term and its description.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: NA

Examples:

A screen reader might announce an element as something like "<name>, <role>"
A screen reader might imply the role by the presence of certain context roles
Voice Control software might let the user say something like "click, <role>".
Voice Control software might let the user say something like "show numbers", and interactive roles will be flagged with numbers.

Grading method:

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