Blazor TextBox Accessibility
Out of the box, the Telerik UI for Blazor TextBox provides extensive accessibility support and enables users with disabilities to acquire complete control over its features.
The TextBox is compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standards and Section 508 requirements, follows the Web Accessibility Initiative - Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) best practices for implementing the keyboard navigation for its component role, provides options for managing its focus and is tested against the most popular screen readers.
WAI-ARIA
This section lists the selectors, attributes, and behavior patterns supported by the component and its composite elements, if any.
No role attribute is implemented as the html input type="text" element is sufficient for defining the purpose of the component.
| Selector | Attribute | Usage |
|---|---|---|
.k-input-inner |
role=textbox or nodeName=input
|
Describes the role of the component. |
label for or aria-label or aria-labelledby
|
The input requires an accessible name that will be assigned to it. | |
aria-required=true |
The attribute is rendered only when the TextBox is in a form HTML element and announces the required state of the component. |
|
aria-describedby=.k-form-hint id/.k-form-error id |
Points to the hint for the input, or if the input is invalid, to the error message. This attribute should only be present when a hint is set or when the input is invalid. | |
aria-invalid=true |
The attribute is rendered only when the TextBox is in a form and announces the valid state of the component. | |
.k-disabled .k-input-inner |
disabled=disabled or aria-disabled=true
|
