Accessibility - 508 Support

Input fields have to be used in combination with the label element which points to the assigned input field. This ensures, that screenreaders are aware of the relationship between the both elements and can read the correct label to the according field.

  • Keyboard

    The input field is inserted into the accessibility hierarchy by default.

  • Default Description

    Is provided by the HTMLB rendering engine.

  • Application-specific Description

    Set an additional description using the setTooltip method if needed.

  • Label

    Has to be connected to a label control (use method setLabelFor for identifying the corresponding input field).
