Test: The html required attribute on each HTML radio button in a fieldset

Screen Reader support level: partial (111/121)

Voice Control support level: supported with 4 unknown results

About this test

This test checks the html required attribute as applied to each HTML radio button in a fieldset. Some general notes:

  • The HTML spec suggests that it is okay to place the required attribute on only one of the radio buttons, however, only that radio button will be conveyed as required. Other radio buttons in the group will not be conveyed as required, and if screen reader user jumps to a radio button that doesn't have a required attribute then the requiredness might of the group might be missed.
  • Currently, the most robust solution to mark a group of radio buttons as required is to place the text 'required' in the group label.
  • In most screen readers, this technique will result in the required state being conveyed for each radio in the group. Some users might find this confusing since only one radio can be selected at a time.

Detailed support results by expectation

Expectation for the fieldset element: convey its name

This expectation is from the fieldset element feature.

Rationale:

A screen reader user needs to know what to enter.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

  • Screen Readers: MUST
  • Voice Control: NA

Examples:

  • A screen reader might convey the fieldset as "<role> <name-from-legend>"

Grading method:

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

Expectation for the fieldset element: convey its role

This expectation is from the fieldset element 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 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 fieldset element: convey the boundaries of the element

This expectation is from the fieldset element 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 input[type="radio"] element: convey its name

This expectation is from the input[type="radio"] element feature.

Rationale:

A screen reader user needs to know what to enter.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

  • Screen Readers: MUST
  • Voice Control: MUST

Examples:

  • A screen reader will announce the name (label).
  • Voice control software will let the user say something like "click <name>" to activate the control.

Grading method:

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

Notes:

For form inputs - commands to read line by line (down and up arrows in most windows screen readers) will not always result in the name being explicitly conveyed when the virtual focus is moved to an input where the label is visually displayed and programmatically associated with the input. This is acceptable because the name is implied by the fact that it should be naturally found in the reading order. Some screen readers choose to not convey the name in these cases, likely in an effort to reduce verbosity.

Expectation for the input[type="radio"] element: convey its role

This expectation is from the input[type="radio"] element 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: MUST

Examples:

  • A screen reader might be announce the role as "radio"
  • Voice control software will let the user say something like "click radio" to focus a the input or flag the role with a number.

Grading method:

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

Expectation for the input[type="radio"] element: convey a change in the checked state

This expectation is from the input[type="radio"] element feature.

Rationale:

A screen reader user needs to know if the checkbox is checked

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

  • Screen Readers: MUST
  • Voice Control: NA

Examples:

  • A screen reader might announce "checked" or "not checked"
  • A screen reader might announce the entire control again with the new state

Grading method:

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

Expectation for the input[type="radio"] element: convey the unchecked state

This expectation is from the input[type="radio"] element feature.

Rationale:

A screen reader user needs to know if the checkbox is checked

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

  • Screen Readers: MUST
  • Voice Control: NA

Examples:

  • A screen reader might announce "unchecked" or imply that the element is not checked by not announcing the checked state at all.

Grading method:

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