Accessibility – 508 Support
Checkboxes have to be used in combination with the label control, which points to the assigned checkbox if they are used with a label to the left of the checkbox. This ensures, that screenreaders are aware of the relationship between the both elements and can read the correct label to the according checkbox.
- Keyboard: Checkboxes are inserted into the accessibility hierarchy by default.
- Default Description: Is provided by the HTMLB rendering engine.
- Application-specific Description: Set an additional description using the setTooltip method if needed.
- Label: Has to be connected to a label control for left-hand labels (use method setLabelFor for identifying the corresponding checkbox or checkbox group).
