Closed terracoda closed 6 years ago
Just noticed that that in Aria 1.1, the implicit default is undefined.
Sounds good @terracoda, aria-orientation is currently not used. Ill add it to sun's AccessibleSlider.
AccessibleSlider now supports aria-orientation and it has been used in resistance-in-a-wire. Closing this issue @terracoda.
Thanks @jessegreenberg!
In a recent interview where RIAW and OL were explored, a JAWS user identified the sliders as horizontal sliders, and the participant commented "I'll use the right left arrow keys".
While all the Arrow keys work regardless of orientation it was not an issue for the user.
However, it is likely beneficial for students that vertical sliders are identified as vertical sliders. The horizontal orientation is the default orientation.
When I use Voice Over, I do not hear anything about orientation of the RIAW sliders. The participant was using JAWS, did.
In this example from whatsock.com, I do hear, "vertical slider" http://whatsock.com/tsg/Coding%20Arena/ARIA%20Sliders/Vertical/demo.htm
