Support "generic" role in the engine

Open shunguoy opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

ARIA also defines a generic role that is meant to provide feature parity with a number of HTML elements that do not have more specific ARIA semantics of their own. Currently, 21 elements support the "generic" role per Aria in HTML. A generic element is exposed in accessibility APIs so that assistive technologies can gather certain properties such as layout and bounds.

the epic is suspended before we get more clarification from Aria, or till the rule fails a real ACT test case.

why the issue was opened? the checker failed some aria cases related to the 'generic' role that the checker doesn't support, so a decision was made to support the 'generic' role.

An issue submitted to the ARIA spec for the generic role: https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/1829
