Accessibility in JavaScript (ES5) DropDownButton control

17 Mar 2023 / 2 minutes to read

ARIA attributes

The web accessibility makes web content and web applications more accessible for people with disabilities. Mostly it helps in dynamic content change and development of advanced user interface controls with AJAX, HTML, JavaScript, and related technologies. DropDownButton provides built-in compliance with WAI-ARIA specifications. WAI-ARIA support is achieved through the attributes like aria-expanded, aria-owns and aria-haspopup applied for action item in DropDownButton. It helps by providing information about the widget for assistive technology in the screen readers. DropDownButton component contains the menu role and menuItem role.
