HTML Accessibility API Mappings (HTML-AAM) defines how user agents map HTML 5.1 [HTML51] elements and attributes to platform accessibility application programming interfaces (APIs). It leverages and extends the Core Accessibility API Mappings 1.1 [CORE-AAM] and the Accessible Name and Description: Computation and API Mappings 1.1 [ACCNAME-AAM] for use with the HTML 5.1 host language. Documenting these mappings promotes interoperable exposure of roles, states, properties, and events implemented by accessibility APIs and helps to ensure that this information appears in a manner consistent with author intent.
The HTML-AAM is part of the WAI-ARIA suite described in the WAI-ARIA Overview.
This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this document. A list of current W3C publications and the latest revision of this technical report can be found in the W3C technical reports index at http://www.w3.org/TR/.
This is a Working Draft of HTML Accessibility API Mappings 1.0 by the HTML Accessibility Taskforce, a joint task force of the Accessible Rich Internet Applications Working Group and the Web Platform Working Group. It defines how HTML language features map to accessibility APIs, and addresses both native HTML features and ARIA additions. It extends Core Accessibility API Mappings 1.1 [CORE-AAM] and Accessible Name and Description: Computation and API Mappings 1.1 [ACCNAME-AAM], and is part of a suite of similar technology-specific Accessibility API Mappings specifications. This version provides accessibility API mappings for new and updated WAI-ARIA 1.1 [WAI-ARIA] features and expands the set of mappings for HTML features.
This document was previously co-published by the Protocols and Formats Working Group and the HTML Working Group. It moved to the ARIA Working Group and Web Platform Working Group because of changes in the set of Working Groups chartered at W3C.
Feedback on any aspect of the specification is accepted. For this publication, the HTML Accessibility Task Force particularly seeks feedback on the following questions:
To comment, send email to public-webapps@w3.org (comment archive) or file an issue in the W3C ARIA GitHub repository. Comments are requested by 15 January 2016. In-progress updates to the document may be viewed in the publicly visible editors' draft.
Publication as a Working Draft does not imply endorsement by the W3C Membership. This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite this document as other than work in progress.

Like the Core Accessibility API Mappings specification, this document defines how HTML user agents must respond to keyboard focus, as well as role, state and property information provided for Web content. Where an HTML element or attribute has default Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) 1.1 [WAI-ARIA] semantics, it must be exposed to the platform accessibility APIs according to the relevant WAI-ARIA mappings defined in the Core Accessibility API Mappings specification. Where an HTML element or attribute does not have default WAI-ARIA semantics, the applicable mapping for each platform accessibility API is defined by this specification.
This document also adapts the Accessible Name and Description: Computation and API Mappings [ACCNAME-AAM] for deriving the accessible names and accessible descriptions of HTML 5.1 [HTML51] elements, and provides accessible implementation examples for specific HTML 5.1 elements and features.
Users often access HTML content using assistive technologies that rely on platform accessibility API to obtain and interact with information from the page. This document is part of the following suite of accessibility API mapping specifications for content rendered by user agents:
Accessibility APIs covered by this document are:
If user agent developers need to expose information using other accessibility APIs, it is recommended that they work closely with the developer of the platform where the API runs, and assistive technology developers on that platform.
For more information regarding accessibility APIs, refer to section 1.1 Accessibility APIs of the Core Accessibility API Mappings [CORE-AAM].
As well as sections marked as non-normative, all authoring guidelines, diagrams, examples, and notes in this specification are non-normative. Everything else in this specification is normative.
The key words MUST and SHOULD are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
These RFC2119 key words are formatted in uppercase and contained in a strong element with class="rfc2119". When these key words are used, but do not share this format, they do not convey any formal conformance requirements in the RFC2119 sense, and are merely explanatory, i.e., informative. As much as possible, such usage is avoided in this specification.
The classification of a section as normative or non-normative applies to the entire section and all sub-sections of that section.
Normative sections provide requirements that authors, user agents, and assistive technologies MUST follow for an implementation to conform to this specification.
Non-normative sections provide information useful to understanding the specification. Such sections may contain examples of recommended practice, but it is not required to follow such recommendations in order to conform to this specification.
While some terms are defined in place, the following definitions are used throughout this document.
Operating systems and other platforms provide a set of interfaces that expose information about objects and events to assistive technologies. Assistive technologies use these interfaces to get information about and interact with those widgets. Examples of accessibility APIs are Microsoft Active Accessibility [MSAA], Microsoft User Interface Automation [UI-AUTOMATION], MSAA with UIA Express [UIA-EXPRESS], the Mac OS X Accessibility Protocol [AXAPI], the Linux/Unix Accessibility Toolkit [ATK] and Assistive Technology Service Provider Interface [AT-SPI], and IAccessible2 [IAccessible2].
An accessible object in the accessibility tree and its descendants in that tree. It does not include objects which have relationships other than parent-child in that tree. For example, it does not include objects linked via aria-flowto unless those objects are also descendants in the accessibility tree.
Tree of accessible objects that represents the structure of the user interface (UI). Each node in the accessibility tree represents an element in the UI as exposed through the accessibility API; for example, a push button, a check box, or container.
An accessible description provides additional information, related to an interface element, that complements the accessible name. The accessible description might or might not be visually perceivable.
The accessible name is the name of a user interface element. Each platform accessibility API provides the accessible name property. The value of the accessible name may be derived from a visible (e.g., the visible text on a button) or invisible (e.g., the text alternative that describes an icon) property of the user interface element. See related accessible description.
A simple use for the accessible name property may be illustrated by an "OK" button. The text "OK" is the accessible name. When the button receives focus, assistive technologies may concatenate the platform's role description with the accessible name. For example, a screen reader may speak "push-button OK" or "OK button". The order of concatenation and specifics of the role description (e.g., "button", "push-button", "clickable button") are determined by platform accessibility APIs or assistive technologies.
A node in the accessibility tree of a platform accessibility API. Accessible objects expose various states, properties, and events for use by assistive technologies. In the context of markup languages (e.g., HTML and SVG) in general, and of WAI-ARIA in particular, markup elements and their attributes are represented as accessible objects.
The action taken when an event, typically initiated by users through an input device, causes an element to fulfill a defined role. The role may be defined for that element by the host language, or by author-defined variables, or both. The role for any given element may be a generic action, or may be unique to that element. For example, the activation behavior of an HTML or SVG <a> element shall be to cause the user agent to traverse the link specified in the href attribute, with the further optional parameter of specifying the browsing context for the traversal (such as the current window or tab, a named window, or a new window); the activation behavior of an HTML <input> element with the type attribute value submit shall be to send the values of the form elements to an author-defined IRI by the author-defined HTTP method.
Hardware and/or software that:
This definition may differ from that used in other documents.
Examples of assistive technologies that are important in the context of this document include the following:
In this specification, attribute is used as it is in markup languages. Attributes are structural features added to elements to provide information about the states and properties of the object represented by the element.
A set of instance objects that share similar characteristics.
Event from/to the host operating system via the accessibility API, notifying of a change of input focus.
In this specification, element is used as it is in markup languages. Elements are the structural elements in markup language that contains the data profile for objects.
A programmatic message used to communicate discrete changes in the state of an object to other objects in a computational system. User input to a web page is commonly mediated through abstract events that describe the interaction and can provide notice of changes to the state of a document object. In some programming languages, events are more commonly known as notifications.
Translated to platform-specific accessibility APIs as defined in the WAI-ARIA User Agent Implementation Guide. [WAI-ARIA-IMPLEMENTATION]
A document containing graphic representations with user-navigable parts. Charts, maps, diagrams, blueprints, and dashboards are examples of graphical documents. A graphical document is composed using any combination of symbols, images, text, and graphic primitives (shapes such as circles, points, lines, paths, rectangles, etc).
Indicates that the element is not visible or perceivable to any user. An element is considered hidden if it or any one of its ancestor elements is not rendered or explicitly hidden.
Content provided for information purposes and not required for conformance. Content required for conformance is referred to as normative.
Accessible to the user using a keyboard or assistive technologies that mimic keyboard input, such as a sip and puff tube. References in this document relate to WCAG 2.0 Guideline 2.1: Make all functionality available from a keyboard [WCAG20].
A type of region on a page to which the user may want quick access. Content in such a region is different from that of other regions on the page and relevant to a specific user purpose, such as navigating, searching, perusing the primary content, etc.
Live regions are perceivable regions of a web page that are typically updated as a result of an external event when user focus may be elsewhere. These regions are not always updated as result of a user interaction. This practice has become commonplace with the growing use of Ajax. Examples of live regions include a chat log, stock ticker, or a sport scoring section that updates periodically to reflect game statistics. Since these asynchronous areas are expected to update outside the user's area of focus, assistive technologies such as screen readers have either been unaware of their existence or unable to process them for the user. WAI-ARIA has provided a collection of properties that allow the author to identify these live regions and how to process them: aria-live, aria-relevant, aria-atomic, and aria-busy. Pre-defined live region roles are listed in the Choosing Between Special Case Live Regions ([WAI-ARIA-PRACTICES], Section 5.3).
An implementing host language's primary content element, such as the body element in HTML.
Accessibility API state that is controlled by the user agent, such as focus and selection. These are contrasted with "unmanaged states" that are typically controlled by the author. Nevertheless, authors can override some managed states, such as aria-posinset and aria-setsize. Many managed states have corresponding CSS pseudo-classes, such as :focus, and pseudo-elements, such as ::selection, that are also updated by the user agent.
The Nemeth Braille Code for Mathematics is a braille code for encoding mathematical and scientific notation. See Nemeth Braille on Wikipedia.
Basic type of object in the DOM tree or accessibility tree. DOM nodes are further specified as Element or Text nodes, among other types. The nodes of an accessibility tree are accessible objects.
Required for conformance. By contrast, content identified as informative or "non-normative" is not required for conformance.
In the context of user interfaces, an item in the perceptual user experience, represented in markup languages by one or more elements, and rendered by user agents.
In the context of programming, the instantiation of one or more classes and interfaces which define the general characteristics of similar objects. An object in an accessibility API may represent one or more DOM objects. Accessibility APIs have defined interfaces that are distinct from DOM interfaces.A description of the characteristics of classes and how they relate to each other.
Usable by users in ways they can control. References in this document relate to WCAG 2.0 Principle 2: Content must be operable [WCAG20]. See Keyboard Accessible.
An 'owned element' is any DOM descendant of the element, any element specified as a child via aria-owns, or any DOM descendant of the owned child.
An 'owning element' is any DOM ancestor of the element, or any element with an aria-owns attribute which references the ID of the element.
Presentable to users in ways they can sense. References in this document relate to WCAG 2.0 Principle 1: Content must be perceivable [WCAG20].
Attributes that are essential to the nature of a given object, or that represent a data value associated with the object. A change of a property may significantly impact the meaning or presentation of an object. Certain properties (for example, aria-multiline) are less likely to change than states, but note that the frequency of change difference is not a rule. A few properties, such as aria-activedescendant, aria-valuenow, and aria-valuetext are expected to change often. See clarification of states versus properties.
A connection between two distinct things. Relationships may be of various types to indicate which object labels another, controls another, etc.
Main indicator of type. This semantic association allows tools to present and support interaction with the object in a manner that is consistent with user expectations about other objects of that type.
The primary element containing non-metadata content. In many languages, this is the document element but in HTML, it is the <body>.
The meaning of something as understood by a human, defined in a way that computers can process a representation of an object, such as elements and attributes, and reliably represent the object in a way that various humans will achieve a mutually consistent understanding of the object.
A state is a dynamic property expressing characteristics of an object that may change in response to user action or automated processes. States do not affect the essential nature of the object, but represent data associated with the object or user interaction possibilities. See clarification of states versus properties.
Any document created from a <frame>, <iframe> or similar mechanism. A sub-document may contain a document, an application or any widget such as a calendar pulled in from another server. In the accessibility tree there are two accessible objects for this situation—one represents the <frame>/<iframe> element in the parent document, which parents a single accessible object child representing the spawned document contents.
An element specified in a WAI-ARIA relation. For example, in <div aria-controls=”elem1”>, where “elem1” is the ID for the target element.
A hierarchical definition of how the characteristics of various classes relate to each other, in which classes inherit the properties of superclasses in the hierarchy. A taxonomy can comprise part of the formal definition of an ontology.
Type of DOM node that represents the textual content of an attribute or an element. A Text node has no child nodes.
Presentable to users in ways they can construct an appropriate meaning. References in this document relate to WCAG 2.0 Principle 3: Information and the operation of user interface must be understandable [WCAG20].
Any software that retrieves, renders and facilitates end user interaction with Web content. This definition may differ from that used in other documents.
A reference to a target element in the same document that has a matching ID
Discrete user interface object with which the user can interact. Widgets range from simple objects that have one value or operation (e.g., check boxes and menu items), to complex objects that contain many managed sub-objects (e.g., trees and grids).
WAI-ARIA support was first introduced to HTML in HTML5 [HTML5]. Where an HTML element or attribute has default WAI-ARIA semantics, it MUST be exposed to the platform accessibility APIs in a way that conforms to General rules for exposing WAI-ARIA semantics in the Core Accessibility API Mappings [CORE-AAM].
Where the host language is HTML 5.1 [HTML51], user agents MUST conform to Conflicts between native markup semantics and WAI-ARIA in the Core Accessibility API Mappings [CORE-AAM].
HTML may have features that are not supported by accessibility APIs at the time of publication. There is not a one to one relationship between all features and platform accessibility APIs. When HTML roles, states and properties do not directly map to an accessibility API, and there is a method in the API to expose a text string, user agents MUST expose the undefined role, states and properties via that method.
For HTML elements or attributes with default WAI-ARIA semantics, user agents MUST conform to Exposing attributes that do not directly map to accessibility API properties in the Core Accessibility API Mappings [CORE-AAM].
In MSAA, the value of an accessible object's Role property is retrieved with the IAccessible::get_accRole method. This method returns a VARIANT that is limited to a finite number of integer role constants insufficient for describing the role of every HTML element, especially new elements introduced by HTML5. To address this limitation, some user agents, e.g., Firefox and Chrome in cooperation with some screen readers, have elected to expose certain roles by returning a string value (BSTR) in that VARIANT in a way that is not described by the MSAA specification.
For example, Firefox returns the element's tag name as a BSTR for the following: abbr, address, aside, blockquote, canvas, caption, dd, div, figcaption, footer, form, h1–h6, header, iframe, input type="file", main, menu, nav, output, p, pre, q, section, time.
Similarly, Chrome returns the element's tag name for: blockquote, div, dl, figcaption, form, h1-h6, menu, meter, p, pre.

The terms accessible name and accessible description are properties provided in all accessibility APIs. The name of the properties may differ across APIs but they serve the same function: as a container for a short (name) or longer (description) string of text.

The presence of any of these indicates the author's intention to indicate that the img is decorative or redundant. In this case, the user agent must set the name to an empty string. If none of these attributes are present, this indicates the author simply did not provide an accessible label for the image, and the implementation must return an accessible name of NULL instead of an empty string if the accessibility API supports it. This hints to the assistive technology to do its own heuristic processing to repair the missing accessible name.

summary and details ElementsThe summary element should be focusable by default.
The details element should not focusable by default.
Pressing the spacebar or enter key when the summary element has focus will show the details element content if the content is hidden. If the details element content is showing and the summary element has focus, pressing the spacebar or enter key will hide the details element content.
The summary element should be mapped to a disclosure triangle role in accessibility APIs that have such a role. For example the Mac accessibility API includes the AXDisclosureTriangle role. In accessibility APIs that do not have such a fine grained role, the summary element should be mapped to a button role. The role mapping table contains recommended mappings for the summary element.
The default accessible name for the summary element is the text content of the summary element.
When the details element content is hidden, the state of the content should be reflected by an accessible state or property.
Example 1: In the Mac accessibility API on the summary element (AXDisclosureTriangle), set AXExpanded property to NO. When the details element content is shown, on the summary element (AXDisclosureTriangle), set theAXExpanded property to YES. The hidden and shown states of the details element content is reflected by the absence or presence of the open attribute.
Example 2: In the IA2 accessibility API on the summary element (ROLE_SYSTEM_PUSHBUTTON), set STATE_SYSTEM_COLLAPSED. When the details element content is shown, on the summary element (ROLE_SYSTEM_PUSHBUTTON), set STATE_SYSTEM_EXPANDED. The hidden and shown states of the details element content is reflected by the absence or presence of the open attribute.
