Steve Faulkner & Hans Hillen & Karl Groves & Billy Gregory The Paciello Group ARIA + HTML5
Diving in to some HTML5 • Details/summary • Dialog • Spin button • slider • ARIA rules • HTML/ARIA validation • Tools
HTML5 Getting simple
HTM5 demo – details/summary <details> <summary> label </summary> Some content </details> simple
HTM5 demo – details/summary = ½ an implementation
HTM5 demo – details/summary What we get now <summary> <details> simple
HTM5 demo – details/summary What we want <summary>
HTM5 demo – details/summary What we want<details>
HTML5 demo – details/summary Filling Gaps
HTM5 demo – details/summary <details role="group"id="d1"> <summary tabindex="0" role="button" aria-controls="d1"aria-expanded="true|false"> label </summary> Some content </details>
HTM5 demo – dialog Creating a modal dialog that works with keyboard and prevents users from accessing ‘disabled’ content is the holy grail….
HTM5 demo – dialog • What we get for free • Focus moves to modal dialog when it is displayed • Focus stays in modal dialog until it is dismissed • Content not in the modal dialog is really disabled • ESC key dismisses the dialog • <dialog> = role=dialog
HTM5 demo – dialog • What we need to add • Accessible name to dialog • <dialog aria-label="text"> • Currently when the dialog is dismissed focus moves to the <body> when it needs to move to control that triggered dialog display • Can be polyfilled using scripting
HTM5 demo – dialog • The good oil on implementing custom dialogs • Juicy Studio - Custom-Built Dialogs • The Incredible Accessible Modal Dialog • WAI-ARIA design pattern – modal dialog
HTM5 demo – input type=number • What we get • Correct role and value information • Keyboard operable <input step="2"type="number">
HTM5 demo – input type=range <input type=range value=10 min=1 max=11>
HTM5 demo – input type=range • What we get for free EVERYTHING \o/
ARIA • There are conformance rules: • HTML5 – WAI-ARIA 3.2.7 • But they can be difficult to decipher • Using ARIA in HTML
ARIA validation • Use of ARIA in HTML<5 is non conforming and probably always will be. • It doesn’t make any difference, it still works • The easiest method is to use the HTML5 DOCTYPE with ARIA markup and validate using the W3C Nu Markup Checker. <!DOCTYPE html>
1st rule of ARIA use If you can use a native HTML element or attribute with the semantics and behaviour you require already built in, instead of re-purposing an element and adding an ARIA role, state or property to make it accessible, then do so.
1st rule of ARIA use Under what circumstances may this not be possible? • If the visual design constraints rule out the use of a particular native element, because the element cannot be styled as required. • If the feature is not currently available in HTML. • If the feature is available in HTML but it is not implemented or it is implemented, but accessibility support is not.
2nd rule of ARIA use Do not change native semantics, unless you really have to. For example: Developer wants to build a heading that's a button. Do not do this: <h1 role=button>heading button</h1> Do this: <h1><span role=button>heading button</span></h1> Or better, do this: <h1><button>heading button</button></h1> Note: it is OK to use native HTML elements, that have similar semantics to ARIA roles used, for fallback. For example using HTML list elements for the skeleton of an ARIA enabled, scripted tree widget.
3rd rule of ARIA use All interactive ARIA controls must be usable with the keyboard. If you create a widget that a user can click or tap or drag or drop or slide or scroll a user must also be able navigate to the widget and perform an equivalent action using the keyboard. All interactive widgets must be scripted to respond to standard key strokes or key stroke combinations where applicable. For example if using role=button the element must be able to recieve focus and a user just be able to activate the action associated with the element using both the enter and the space key. Refer to the keyboard and structural navigation and design patterns sections of the WAI-ARIA 1.0 Authoring Practices
4rd rule of ARIA use Do not use role="presentation" or aria-hidden="true" on a focusable element. Using either of these on a focusable element will result in some users focusing on 'nothing'. Do not do this: <button role=presentation>press me</button> Do not do this: <button aria-hidden=true>press me</button>
