W3C Patent
Policy.
W3C maintains a
public list of any patent disclosures
made in connection with the deliverables of
the group; that page also includes

section 6 of the W3C Patent Policy.
In some cases, often due to features of the HTML host language or the accessibility API in question, an element or attribute's mapping differs from the corresponding ARIA mappings specified in
the [core-aam-1.2]. Where an HTML element or attribute does not have any default WAI-ARIA semantics, the applicable mapping for each platform accessibility API is
defined by this specification.
Users often access HTML content using assistive technologies that rely on platform accessibility API to obtain and
interact with information from the page. This document is part of the following suite of accessibility API mapping specifications for content rendered by user agents:
If user agent developers need to expose information using other accessibility APIs, it is recommended that they work closely with the developer of the platform where
the API runs, and assistive technology developers on that platform.
As well as sections marked as non-normative, all authoring guidelines, diagrams, examples, and notes in this specification are non-normative. Everything else in this specification is normative.
The key words MAY, MUST, MUST NOT, and SHOULD in this document
are to be interpreted as described in
BCP 14
[RFC2119] [RFC8174]
when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
The classification of a section as normative or non-normative applies to the entire section and all sub-sections of that section.
Normative sections provide requirements that authors, user agents, and assistive technologies MUST follow for an implementation to conform to this specification.
Non-normative sections provide information useful to understanding the specification. Such sections may contain examples of recommended practice, but it is not required to follow such
recommendations in order to conform to this specification.

There are currently no deprecated requirements.
3. Mapping HTML to Accessibility APIs
3.1 General Rules for Exposing WAI-ARIA Semantics
Note
WAI-ARIA support was first introduced to HTML in [HTML5].
3.3 Exposing HTML Features That Do Not Directly Map to Accessibility APIs
HTML can include features that are not supported by accessibility APIs at the time of publication. There is not a one to one relationship between all features and
platform accessibility APIs. When HTML roles, states and properties do not directly map to an accessibility API, and there is a method in the
API to expose a text string, user agents MUST expose the undefined role, states and properties via that method.
3.4 Exposing HTML Features That Require a Minimum Role
A minimum role is the equivalent WAI-ARIA role an element will map to if the element does not have a more specific implicit role or platform role mappings, e.g., a non-generic
role. This can help ensure that users of assistive technologies get the best possible experience for commonly-used and valid HTML markup where otherwise a role would not be exposed.
A minimum role is provided when all of the following conditions are true:
the author has not specified a valid explicit WAI-ARIA role to the element, or the specified role is either none, presentation, or generic;
the element either has no implicit WAI-ARIA role or platform role mappings, or it has an implicit generic or none computed role;
and the author has specified attributes which require a minimum role mapping for the element.
When these conditions are met, the browser MUST expose an object using the mappings defined in CORE-AAM for the specified minimum role. If the element has multiple attributes specified which
require a minimum role be returned as the computed role for the element, prioritize the more specific role in the ARIA taxonomy.
3.5 HTML Element Role Mappings
HTML elements with implicit WAI-ARIA role semantics MUST be mapped to platform accessibility APIs according to the identified WAI-ARIA role mapping as defined in the
[core-aam-1.2] specification.
"Not mapped" means the element does not need to be exposed via an accessibility API. This is usually because the element is not displayed as part of the user
interface. However, authors can force some of these elements to be rendered. For instance, by overriding user agent styles to render elements that would have been otherwise set to
display: none. In these cases, the user agent SHOULD map such elements to the role of generic, unless other HTML features have been
specified which would require a more specific minimum role to be exposed.
Where an element is indicated as having "No corresponding (WAI-ARIA) role", or is mapped to the generic role, user agents
MUST NOT expose the aria-roledescription property value in the accessibility tree unless the element has an
explicit, conforming role attribute value which [WAI-ARIA-1.2] does not prohibit the use of aria-roledescription.
When HTML elements do not have an exact or equivalent mapping to a valid, non-abstract WAI-ARIA role, a unique computedrole
string has been specified to serve as the return value for interoperability testing purposes. For instance, the video element MAY be exposed with a computedrole of "html-video".
Authors MUST NOT use any html-prefixed computed role string in the role attribute (such as html-video). User Agents MUST ignore any abstract or invalid role token.
All elements with accessible objects should implement the IAccessible, IAccessible2 and IAccessible2_2 interfaces.
UIA:
When a labelable element is referenced by a label element's for attribute, or a descendant of a label element, the labelable
element's UIA LabeledBy property points to the UIA element for the label element.
Elements mapped to the Text Control Type are not generally represented as accessible objects in the
accessibility tree, but are just part of the Text Control Pattern implemented for the whole HTML document. However, if they have any aria- attributes or an
explicit tabindex specified, elements mapped to the Text Control Type will be represented as accessible objects in the
accessibility tree.
AXAPI:
User agents should return a user-presentable, localized string value for the Mac Accessibility AXRoleDescription.
User agents MAY still expose an a element lacking the href attribute with a link role in the event an author specifies interactive behavior for the element. For example, if using
an event handler attribute.
Note: If the controls attribute is present, UI controls (e.g., play, volume) are exposed as children of the
audio element in the accessibility tree, and mapped as appropriate for the type of control (e.g.,
button or slider).
Text objects associated with loading or error messages, and any UI control not currently displayed, MAY be present in the accessibility tree and marked as
hidden or off-screen.
Note: If the controls attribute is present, UI controls (e.g., play, volume) are exposed as descendants of an
accessible object with a role of toolbar, and mapped as appropriate for the type of control (e.g.,
button or slider).
listbox role, with the aria-multiselectable property set to "true"
if the datalist's selection model allows multiple option elements to be selected at a time, and "false" otherwise
If an hgroup contains multiple heading elements, then the heading element with the highest priority level MAY be treated as the sole heading of the hgroup. All other heading
elements MAY instead be exposed as if they were p elements. See paragraph role on Core AAM.
If an img has an empty alt, but has been provided an accessible name via another valid naming mechanism per the
naming steps of this specification, user agents will expose the element with its implicit image role.
If implemented as a color picker, any UI controls presented for selecting a color are exposed in the accessibility tree, associated with the input element,
and mapped as appropriate for the type of control (e.g., button or slider).
Role:ROLE_SYSTEM_SPINBUTTON if implemented as a simple widget; ROLE_SYSTEM_GROUPING with child controls mapped as appropriate if
implemented as a complex widget
Role:ATK_ROLE_SPINBUTTON if implemented as a simple widget.
If implemented as a complex widget use: Role:ROLE_PANEL and map child controls as appropriate.
No accessible object. Styles used are exposed by UIA text attribute identifiers of the TextRange Control Pattern implemented on a parent accessible object.
Relations:IA2_RELATION_LABEL_FOR with a labelable element that is child to the label or referred to by the label element's
for attribute. The associated labelable element has IA2_RELATION_LABELLED_BY pointing to the label.
When the label element contains a labelable element, the LabeledBy property for the element points to the UIA element for the
label element.
When the label element has a for attribute referencing a labelable element, the LabeledBy
property for the referenced element points to the UIA element for the label element.
Relations:ATK_RELATION_LABEL_FOR for a child labelable element or labelable element referred by
for attribute. Note, related labelable element provides ATK_RELATION_LABELLED_BY pointing to the label.
listitem role with aria-setsize value reflecting number of li
elements within the parent ol, menu or ul and aria-posinset
value reflecting the li elements position within the set.
If li element is not a child of ol , menu or ul, or if the containing list element is no longer exposed
with a list role, then expose the li element with a generic role.
Role:AXImageMap if used as an image map. Otherwise, Role:AXGroup if associated with an img with no alt. Otherwise,
not mapped if not associated with an img.
The menu element is a semantic alternative to the ul element. It has no implemented mappings or behavior that reflect the semantics
of the ARIA menu role.
progressbar role, with, if the progress bar is determinate, the
aria-valuemax property set to the maximum value of the progress bar, the
aria-valuemin property set to zero, and the aria-valuenow property set to the
current value of the progress bar
Note: There are instances where CSS properties can affect what is exposed by accessibility APIs. For instance, display: none or visibility: hidden will remove an element
from the accessibility tree and hide its presence from assistive technologies.
If a summary element is not a child of a details element, or it is not the first summary element of a parent details, then the summary element MUST be exposed with a
generic role.
No accessible object. Styles used are exposed by UIA text attribute identifiers of the TextRange Control Pattern implemented on a parent accessible object.
Note: If the controls attribute is present, UI controls (e.g., play, volume) are exposed as children of the
video element in the accessibility tree, and mapped as appropriate for the type of control (e.g.,
button or slider).
Text objects associated with loading or error messages, and any UI control not currently displayed, MAY be present in the accessibility tree and marked as
hidden or off-screen.
Note: If the controls attribute is present, UI controls (e.g., play, volume) are exposed as descendants of an
accessible object with a role of toolbar, and mapped as appropriate for the type of control (e.g.,
button or slider).
HTML attributes with default WAI-ARIA state and property semantics MUST be mapped to platform accessibility APIs according to those WAI-ARIA state and property
mappings as defined in the [core-aam-1.2] specification.
A '?' in a cell indicates the data has yet to be provided.
"Not mapped" (Not Applicable) means the attribute does not need to be exposed via an accessibility API. This is usually because the attribute is not displayed as
part of the user interface.
Note
In some cases, while not directly exposed to accessibility APIs, an attribute can still impact the accessibility of an element. e.g., autoplay will
automatically start playing video or audio elements.
All elements having an accessible object in IAccessible2 mapping are supposed to implement IAccessible, IAccessible2 and IAccessible2_2 interfaces.
If the element includes both autocomplete and aria-autocomplete attributes with valid values, User Agents MUST expose only the autocomplete attribute value. The
aria-autocomplete attribute is not valid on a form element.
If the element includes both autocomplete and aria-autocomplete attributes with valid values, User Agents MUST expose only the autocomplete attribute value.
If an input element in the checkbox or radio state includes both the checked attribute and the aria-checked attribute with a valid value, User Agents MUST expose only the
checked attribute value.
An input element in the checkbox or radio state without a checked attribute has an implicit "false" state. User Agents MUST ignore an aria-checked attribute which conflicts
with the native element's implicit checked state.
User Agents MUST expose an aria-details relationship with the associated element (identified via the specified commandfor
attribute) except under the following conditions:
The associated popover element is the next immediate accessibility sibling to the invoking element,
The element is a descendant of the popover it is associated with.
The commandfor attribute identifies the associated element for the button element.
The specified command state will determine if a relationship mapping needs to be exposed between the button and its programmatically associated element.
If the element is in the editable state, the following mappings apply to the element and every nested accessible object with the exception of those which have been specified in the
false state.
States:IA2_STATE_EDITABLE and IA2_STATE_MULTI_LINE
Interfaces:IAccessibleEditableText
If the element is in the false state: not mapped.
If the element is in the inherit state: match the editable state of its parent element.
If the element is in the editable state, the following mappings apply to the element and every nested accessible object with the exception of those which have been specified in the
false state.
Control Pattern:TextEdit
Property:AriaProperties.multiline:true
If the element is in the false state: not mapped.
If the element is in the inherit state: match the editable state of its parent element.
If the element is in the editable state, the following mappings apply to the element and every nested accessible object with the exception of those which have been specified in the
false state.
States:ATK_STATE_EDITABLE and ATK_STATE_MULTI_LINE
Interfaces:AtkEditableText
If the element is in the false state: not mapped.
If the element is in the inherit state: match the editable state of its parent element.
If the element has both the disabled attribute and the aria-disabled attribute with a valid value, User Agents MUST expose only the disabled attribute value.
Form controls within a valid legend child element of a fieldset with a disabled attribute do not become disabled.
If the element has both the disabled attribute and the aria-disabled attribute with a valid value, User Agents MUST expose only the disabled attribute value.
When the label element has a for attribute referencing another labelable element, the LabeledBy property for the referenced
element points to the UIA element for the label element.
Links the cell to its row and column header cells (note, only one row and one column header cells can be exposed because of API
restrictions). See atk_table_get_row_header and atk_table_get_column_header.
aria-hidden="true" if the element retains its user agent default styling of display: none. Otherwise, if no other method for
hiding the content is used (e.g., visibility: hidden) then it is not mapped.
Creates a link accessible object. For details, refer to
a and area element mappings. The value of the href attribute is stored in the Value.Value UIA property.
The value of the lang attribute is exposed as a locale identifier by Culture property of the UIA element representing the HTML element, and by Culture attribute of the
TextRange Control Pattern implemented on a parent accessible object.
The open attribute's value is irrelevant. When the open attribute is not specified the default user agent styling for a dialog is display: none.
Authors can reveal a dialog through the style layer by modifying its display property. If revealed this way then the dialog is
aria-modal="false" and aria-hidden="false".
When the placeholder and aria-placeholder attributes are both present, and the placeholder attribute's value is non-empty, user agents MUST expose the value of the
placeholder attribute, and ignore aria-placeholder. If the placeholder attribute's value is empty, then user agents MUST expose the value of the aria-placeholder attribute.
A details relation is made with the invoking element, if an invoking element exists which meets the conditions for necessitating a details relationship.
See Comments.
User agents MUST NOT expose a details relation between a popover and its invoking element under the following conditions:
when the popover is the next immediate accessibility sibling to the invoking element,
when the element has a popovertargetaction=hide attribute value,
or when the element is a descendant of the popover and its popovertarget is the "auto" state.
If specified on an element with an implicit role of generic, then the element's role instead maps to group for all
popover states.
Note
There are no unique mappings for the different popover states. Any accessibility mapping changes for the popover element would be the responsibility of the author. e.g., using
different base HTML elements, attributes, or ARIA attributes to make such changes.
If the element includes both the readonly attribute and the aria-readonly attribute with a valid value, User Agents MUST expose only the readonly attribute value.
If the element includes both the required attribute and the aria-required attribute with a valid value, User Agents MUST expose only the required attribute value.
If an element is required, user agents MUST NOT expose the element with an intitial invalid state (aria-invalid="true"). The user agent SHOULD expose the invalid state only after 1) a user has purposefully interacted with a required element, or attempted to submit a form and
2) the element, or elements, do not meet constraint validation.
Until these conditions are met, user agents MUST expose the elements as (aria-invalid="false").
If the element includes both the selected attribute and the aria-selected attribute with a valid value, User Agents MUST expose only the selected attribute value.
For input elements that allow the size attribute, the attribute will modify their default width. A width provided by CSS will negate the effects of the size attribute on these
input elements.
Defines the list item marker, which is exposed as content in AXValue, and rendered as an accessible object:
AXRole:AXListMarker
AXSubrole:(nil)
AXRoleDescription:"list marker"
Comments
Some platforms (IAccessible2, ATK, UIA) do not expose an accessible object for the list item marker, whether it was created and then pruned from the
accessibility tree, or never created in the first place. Instead, they expose the list item marker as part of the associated list item's accessible text. In
these cases, implementors need to consider such things as adjusting the offsets (e.g., for caret-moved events, text-selection events, etc.) for the updated list item text that now
also contains the list item marker as content, rather than just taking the offsets unmodified from the list item renderer.
Expose the value of the value attribute as the first text node in the list item. If the value of the value attribute is an integer, set the UIA PositionInSet property to the
integer value.
The terms accessible name and accessible description are properties provided in
all accessibility APIs. The name of the properties may differ across APIs but they serve the same function: as a container for a short (name) or longer (description)
string of text.
User Agents notify assistive technology when relevant accessibility information changes, sometimes by destroying and recreating the accessibility object, or sometimes by notifying of changes
to the object per the specified
name change event mappings and description change event mappings.
4.1 Accessible Name Computations By HTML Element
4.1.1
input type="text", input type="password", input type="number", input type="search", input type="tel", input type="email", input type="url" and textarea Elements Accessible
Name Computation
If the accessible name is still empty: use the text equivalent computation of
the associated label element's subtree - if more than one label is associated; concatenate their subtrees by DOM order, delimited by spaces.
If the control is encapsulated by its label element, exclude the control's author specified or user-entered value from its computed
accessible name.
If the accessible name is still empty: use the value of the control's title attribute.
If the accessible name is still empty: use the text equivalent computation of
the associated label element's subtree - if more than one label is associated; concatenate their subtrees by DOM order, delimited by spaces.
If the control is encapsulated by its label element, and the control has an author specified value or the lack of a value has produced an
implementation defined string to render, then exclude either from the control's computed
accessible name.
If the accessible name is still empty: use the value of the control's value attribute.
For input type=submit and type=reset: if the accessible name is still empty, and the value attribute is unspecified, use the
implementation defined string respective to the input type. For instance, a localized string of the word "submit" or
"reset" respective to the type of input.
Otherwise: use the value of the control's title attribute.
If none of the above yield a usable text string there is no accessible name.
4.1.3 input type="image" Element Accessible Name Computation
If the accessible name is still empty: use the text equivalent computation of
the associated label element's subtree - if more than one label is associated; concatenate their subtrees by DOM order, delimited by spaces.
If the control is encapsulated by its label element, and the control has an alt attribute, then exclude the attribute's value from the control's computed
accessible name.
If the accessible name is still empty: use the value of the control's alt attribute if present and its value is not the empty
string.
If the accessible name is still empty: use the value of the control's title attribute if present and its value is not the empty
string.
Otherwise, if the previous steps do not yield a usable text string: use the implementation defined string respective
to the input type (an input in the image state represents a submit button). For instance, a localized string of the word
"submit" or the words "Submit Query".
If none of the above yield a usable text string there is no accessible name.
If the accessible name is still empty: use the text equivalent computation of
the associated label element's subtree - if more than one label is associated; concatenate their subtrees by DOM order, delimited by spaces.
If the button element is encapsulated by its label element, ignore the button element's subtree from its computed
accessible name.
If the accessible name is still empty, then: if the fieldset element has a
child that is a legend element, then use the subtree of the first such element.
If the accessible name is still empty, then:, if the fieldset element has a title attribute, then use that attribute.
Otherwise use the associated label element or elements accessible name(s) - if more than one label is associated; concatenate by
DOM order, delimited by spaces.
Otherwise use title attribute.
If none of the above yield a usable text string there is no accessible name.
4.1.7 Other Form Elements Accessible Name Computation
If there is no summary element as a direct child of the details element, the user agent should provide one with a subtree containing a localized string of the word "details".
If there is a summary element as a direct child of the details element, but none of the above yield a usable text string, there is no
accessible name.
If the accessible name is still empty, then: if the figure element has a
child that is a figcaption element, then use the subtree of the first such element.
If the accessible name is still empty, then: if the figure element has a title attribute, then use that attribute.
If the accessible name is still empty, then: if the table element has a
child that is a caption element, then use the subtree of the first such element.
If the accessible name is still empty, then: if the table element has a title attribute, then use that attribute.
If none of the above yield a usable text string there is no accessible name.
Note
The document referenced by the src of the iframe element gets its name from that document's title element, like any other document. If there is no title provided, there is no
accessible name.
4.1.16 Section and Grouping Element Accessible Name Computation
an input element whose type attribute is the button, submit or reset state, and it has a value attribute, then use the flat string of the attribute if it was not used as
the accessible name.
Otherwise, use the flat string of the title attribute if it was not used as the accessible name for the element.
In accordance with Web Platform Design Principles, this specification provides no programmatic
interface to determine if information is being used by Assistive Technologies. However, this specification does allow an author to present different information to users of Assistive
Technologies from the information available to users who do not use Assistive Technologies. This is possible using many features of the ARIA and CORE-AAM specifications, just as this is
possible using many other parts of the web technology stack. This content disparity could be abused to perform
active fingerprinting of users of Assistive Technologies.
