This document is subject to change without notice.
This document was developed by and with the approval of the HTML Accessibility Taskforce, a joint task force of the Protocols and Formats Working Group and the HTML Working Group.
To provide access to desktop GUI applications, assistive technologies originally used heuristic techniques to determine the meaning of the user interface and built an alternative off screen model. For example, a row of labels displayed horizontally near the top of an application window might be a menu. Labels with a border drawn around them might be buttons. Heuristic techniques are not always accurate, however, and require assistive technologies to be updated whenever the software application is updated.
A much better technique is for the software application to provide the necessary information for interoperability with assistive technology. To meet this need, platform owners have developed specialized interfaces, called accessibility APIs, which can be used to communicate accessibility information about user interfaces to assistive technologies.
In the case of static Web pages, the Document Object Model (DOM) is used to represent the structure and state of the elements in the document being rendered by a user agent. The elements of the document are organized into a hierarchy of nodes known as the DOM tree. For traditional static Web pages, assistive technologies, such as screen readers, interact with user agents using the DOM. For UI elements that are known to be interactive, such as HTML form elements and desktop applications, assistive technologies may use platform accessibility APIs.
Accessibility APIs covered by this document are:
If User Agent developers need to expose to 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.
HTML may have 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, expose the undefined role, states and properties via that method.
IAccessible2 and ATK use object attributes to expose semantics that are not directly supported in the APIs. Object attributes are name-value pairs that are loosely specified, and very flexible for exposing things where there is no specific interface in an accessibility API. For example, at this time, the HTML5 header element can be exposed via an object attribute because accessibility APIs have no such role available.
For accessibility APIs that do not have "object attributes" per se, it is useful to find a similar mechanism or develop a new interface to expose name/value pairs. Under the Mac OS X Accessibility Protocol, all getters are already simply name-value pairs and it is possible to expose new semantics whenever necessary. Keep in mind, this also requires working with the assistive technology developers to gain support for the new semantics.

In MSAA, the VARIANT returned by the IAccessible::get_accRole method is limited to a finite number of integer role constants insufficient for describing every HTML element, especially new elements introduced by HTML5. To address this limitation, some user agents, e.g., Firefox and Chrome in cooperation with some screen readers, have elected to expose new roles by returning a string value (BSTR) in that VARIANT in a way that is not described by the MSAA specification.
For example, Firefox returns the element's tag name as a BSTR for the following: a (no href), abbr, address, area (no href), aside, blockquote, canvas, caption, dd, div, embed, figcaption, footer, form, h1–h6, header, iframe, input type="file", main, map, nav, object, output, p, pre, q, ruby, section.
to do
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.
input type="text", input type="password", input type="search", input type="tel", input type="url" and textarea element If the control has an aria-label or an aria-labelledby attribute the accessible name is to be calculated using the algorithm defined in section 5.2.7. Accessible Name Calculation of the WAI-ARIA 1.0 specification.
The accessible description is derived from the following sources: aria-describedby or a non-empty placeholder attribute or a non-empty title attribute.

aria-labelledbyaria-labeltitle attributearia-describedbytitle attribute if it wasn't used as the accessible namesummary and details elementsThe summary element should be focusable by default.
The details element should not focusable by default.
Pressing the spacebar or enter key when the summary element has focus will show the details element content if the content is hidden. If the details element content is showing and the summary element has focus, pressing the spacebar or enter key will hide the details element content.
The summary element should be mapped to a disclosure triangle role in accessibility APIs that have such a role. For example the Mac accessibility API includes the AXDisclosureTriangle role. In accessibility APIs that do not have such a fine grained role, the summary element should be mapped to a button role. The role mapping table contains recommended mappings for the summary element.
The default accessible name for the summary element is the text content of the summary element.
When the details element content is hidden, the state of the content should be reflected by an accessible state or property.
Example 1: In the Mac accessibility API on the summary element (AXDisclosureTriangle), set AXExpanded property to NO. When the details element content is shown, on the summary element (AXDisclosureTriangle), set theAXExpanded property to YES. The hidden and shown states of the details element content is reflected by the absence or presence of the open attribute.
Example 2: In the IA2 accessibility API on the summary element (ROLE_SYSTEM_PUSHBUTTON), set STATE_SYSTEM_COLLAPSED. When the details element content is shown, on the summary element (ROLE_SYSTEM_PUSHBUTTON), set STATE_SYSTEM_EXPANDED. The hidden and shown states of the details element content is reflected by the absence or presence of the open attribute.
