Feature request: Indicate how many tabs are in the tablist #117

Open NickColley opened 5 years ago

NickColley commented 5 years ago

Summary

We have had feedback from a JAWs user that extra information regarding the tabs list would be useful: https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/issues/943

In other popular screen readers when interacting with tabs the user is given a summary of the amount of tabs in the tablist that they can interact with.

For example in VoiceOver: "Past day, selected, tab, 1 of 4 has keyboard focus"

There is a similar announcement for NVDA.

I have looked at https://freedomscientific.github.io/VFO-standards-support/aria.html#index-aria-tablist which seems to suggest that the tablist role has limited support, so for this reason I have marked this a feature request but please feel free to rename this issue if you think otherwise.

Expected result

A summary of the tabs available to interact with.

Actual result

Only the first tab is announced
