Accessibility – 508 Support
- Keyboard: The button inserted into the accessibility hierarchy by default - including the button state (e.g. disabled) and type (e.g. emphasized).
- Default Description: Is provided by the HTMLB rendering engine.
- Application-specific Description: Set an additional description
using the setTooltip method if needed.
An additional description is needed if users need more specific information or instructions. In general, the description has to be extended if a button introduces an interaction that cannot be recognized by a blind user. For example, the descriptions needs to be extended if the button opens a new window.
