Accessibility – 508 Support
Input fields have to be used in combination with the label element which points to the assigned input field. This ensures, that screenreaders are aware of the relationship between the both elements and can read the correct label to the according field.
- Keyboard: The input field is 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 (use method setLabelFor for identifying the corresponding input field)
