ARIA role of list social media links
The role I would apply to the whole footer is 'contentInfo': Examples of information included in this region of the page are copyrights and links to privacy statements. User agents SHOULD treat elements with the role of contentinfo as navigational landmarks. So it is about the (main) content, but not...
Manipulating WAI-ARIA calls in Google Visualization API controls
charts,google-visualization,accessibility,wai-aria
If you can identify which element in the control needs the aria-live="polite" attribute, you can set that in a "ready" event handler for the control: google.visualization.events.addListener(control, 'ready', function () { // set aria attributes here }); Whenever the control draws or redraws, the event handler will fire and the attributes...
Can aria-disabled only be applied to a focusable element? Doesn't it also apply to child elements?
html5,twitter-bootstrap,accessibility,wai-aria,screen-readers
With JAWS 16, both IE and Chrome have the problem you describe, but FF 38 works correctly (not sure about previous versions of FF). When I tab to the link where the <li> has aria-disabled="true" and there's not an aria-disabled="true" on the <a>, FF 38 and JAWS 16 says "previous...
ARIA Roles: Can an 'owned element' be nested arbitrarily deep in the DOM?
html,html5,dom,accessibility,wai-aria
All child relationships must be direct relationships unless the role="presentation" is used on interim structures. Failure to do this can/will cause the counts and values to get messed up. Generally, when there are interim structures, they are hooks for styling or scripting and you could restructure your code to get...
Correct way to mark HTML text as decorative with ARIA
html,accessibility,wai-aria,screen-readers
The role attribute is used to override the default mapping of the role of the HTML element to the accessibility tree. This has no effect on the text content of the element. For example, role="button" on a div will allow the div to be announced as a button but will...
aria-label, h-card, or both?
WAI-ARIA and Microformats don’t "compete": WAI-ARIA is a framework to enhance the accessibility of your web content. Microformats are a convention for marking up structured data on your HTML pages. They have different goals, and consumers of WAI-ARIA don’t necessarily support Microformats, and consumers of Microformats don’t necessarily support WAI-ARIA....

How to set priority for screen readers of some HTML page parts?
html,accessibility,wai-aria,screen-readers,wcag2.0

Get child ID and add to parent as ARIA attribute
You need to return that value, otherwise you're not doing anything with it. $('figure').attr('aria-labelledby', function() { return $(this).find('figcaption').attr('id'); }) Demo $('figure').attr('aria-labelledby', function() { return $(this).find('figcaption').attr('id'); }) [aria-labelledby] { color: #f00; } <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <figure id="figure1"> <img src="x.jpg"> <figcaption id="caption1">Sample</figcaption> </figure>...

What's the difference between HTML 'hidden' and 'aria-hidden' attributes?
ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) defines a way to make Web content and Web applications more accessible to people with disabilities. The aria-hidden property tells screen-readers if they should ignore the element.

Does phonegap and cordova supports ARIA roles?

Does an html element require focus to be read by screen readers

HTML5 Checkboxes: Which element should have the 'aria-describedby'-attribute
html5,twitter-bootstrap,wai-aria
According to The Mozilla Dev-Network both ways seem to be possible. "aria-describedby" can be utilized by the container and the input elements. Since the attributes on the input-Element correspond directly with the functionality, this way seems to fit this case.
Chrome Vox not getting radio buttons
html,google-chrome,radio-button,accessibility,wai-aria
Actually, this is "default" browser behavior. When navigating with tab one can enter the radio button group and, once inside the group, navigation through the different options is performed using the arrow keys. For me doesn't seem very obvious, but I'll try to understand if this is the expected behavior...
Using Aria to make a div table accessible
I don't know if this will actually work considering these roles are intended for real tables. Using an actual table would be a much better idea. Anyway, your roles could be improved. Looks like your columnheader context is wrong. The header row should use the row role: <div class="Heading" role="row">...
What is the difference between aria-label and title attributes? [duplicate]

For example, ARIA...
Does google index aria attributes?
There is no evidence of search engines paying any attention to ARIA attributes. They are not meant for such use but for making application-like HTML documents more accessible. In particular, aria-label associates an “accessible name” for an “object”, which is expected to be interactive, such as a button, and the...
“rel” attribute or “aria-attribute” to link a button to relative div?
The button element can’t have a rel attribute (as you can easily check yourself), and WAI-ARIA does not define an aria-edit-div attribute. I don’t have experience with it, but maybe (!) the aria-controls attribute is appropriate: Identifies the element (or elements) whose contents or presence are controlled by the current...

html,accessibility,wai-aria,voiceover
First let me say that you really don't need to do this. Screen reader users are used to dealing with HTML structure like this and can get around it easily. However, if you want to do this: Create an offscreen style. .offscreen { border: 0; clip: rect(0 0 0 0);...
How do I instruct screen readers to skip a SVG chart (axis labels) and read the associated table instead?

Set aria-hidden="true" on the containing element that you do not want read, or on each element you do not want read if there is no common container. Be careful not to put this on a tab-focusable element such as a button or a link because these will still be tab-focusable...
