Subject: any solutions for fieldset/legend bug with iOS?
No previous message | Next message →

Hello,

Are there any work-arounds to deal with the fact that VoiceOver on iOS
is not reading fieldset/legends correctly?
Paul Adam describes the issue here

No pretty ones.
You could add an aria-describedby tag on every form field tag that
points to the legend.
Also add a region role on div around the form so that Voiceover will
read its name as you enter and leave that region (I need to check if
the group role with a label would be read.

<div role="region" aria-labelledby="lgd">
<h2 id="lgd">Business address</h2>
<label for="inp1"Street</label>
<input id="inp1" type="text" size="30" value="" aria-describedby="ldg">
<label for="inp2"City</label>
<input id="inp2" type="text" size="30" value="" aria-describedby="ldg">
...
</div>

The ARIa group role, which is a valid replacement for fieldset would be
<div role="group" aria-labelledby="lgd">
<h2 id="lgd">Business address</h2>
<label for="inp1"Street</label>
<input id="inp1" type="text" size="30" value="">
<label for="inp2"City</label>
<input id="inp2" type="text" size="30" value="">
...
</div>

but I believe it suffers from the same problem as the fieldset/legend.

I've filed one Mike, http://pauljadam.com/demos/ios8bugs.html <http://pauljadam.com/demos/ios8bugs.html>;

It bothers me that <legend> an HTML4 Accessibility semantic element recommend broadly for forms accessibility for a few decades almost does not work on iOS with VoiceOver at all, you can't even touch the label or see its existence.

Maybe Apple will fix it in iOS 9? or 10?

Paul,

What about support in OSX Voiceover?

They work but not like JAWS or NVDA. In VO OS X you press VO+CMD+J to navigate via form controls and then it will focus on the fieldset container and read the legend as the "group"'s accessible name. So "Legend Name, group, with 4 items."

It will NOT speak the legend text when you're tabbing through the form though like JAWS/NVDA.

Firefox/TalkBack on Android support fieldset/legends similarly to NVDA/Firefox.

Paul,

The issue of the legend not being read is being observed on the iPhone
using iOS V8.2. Swiping right, the fieldset is read, legend is
completely ignored.

For an example try the WebAIM page
http://webaim.org/techniques/forms/controls and look at the radio
buttons section.
