Aria attributes not covered in current IDL #10

Closed Garbee closed 2 years ago

Garbee commented 2 years ago

Looking over the spec, I see two attributes not covered that should be, aria-expanded and aria-controls. The use-case of these is making buttons that trigger expandable content like showing truncated entries or popups.

On a wider point however, do the attributes listed in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes at least provide enough coverage to get started with for a full spec IDL? Or is there some better place to go that lists out all the current aria attributes?

It does seem like the spec should cover the full list of aria-* attributes, including those that make ID references. The missing ones I see are:

aria-activedescendant
aria-controls
aria-describedby
aria-details
aria-errormessage
aria-flowto
aria-labelledby
aria-describedby (mentioned in part of the spec but missing in another part)
aria-owns

(There may be others; I didn't do an exhaustive search.)

AIUI, there is no technical limitation to support aria-*; it's just a matter of capturing them all in the proposal.

As mentioned in https://github.com/leobalter/cross-root-aria-delegation/issues/13, we may also want to consider for and role.
