Implementation of aria-describedby for text area #29

Closed shan9101 closed 9 years ago

shan9101 commented 9 years ago

Html 5 supports maxlength property in Text area field which was not present in earlier versions. So we are going to implement aria-describedby property for text area field as well. If maxlength property is set on text area field, then screen reader will announce the user about the maximum number of characters allowed on this field. On form submission, if there is any error associated with the text area field, then this error message along with the maxlength message will be read by the screen reader.
