Syntax

role="description"

Usage

In Design mode, click All Properties and look for role under accessibility.

This property implements the W3C ARIA specification on roles at http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/#Using_intro. Screen readers such as JAWS use roles to acquire contextual information about HTML pages. For valid values, see http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/#roles.

Starting with 9.0.1, this property is obsolete for xp:tabbedPanel, xp:tabPanel, xp:pager, and xp:pagerControl. By default the appropriate compliant value is generated. For compliance with accessibility standards, do not specify a value for this property for those controls.

Examples

This Edit Box control provides a title and role for accessibility.
<xp:inputText id="inputText1" value="#{document1.subject}"
	title="Subject edit box" role="end user">
/xp:inputText>
