APG Specification Updates
Tracking changes to the W3C ARIA Authoring Practices Guide and their reflection on this site.
Tooltip: role="tooltip" to become name-prohibited
Due to ARIA spec changes, role="tooltip" is expected to become name-prohibited (cannot have an accessible name). This has not yet been reflected in the APG, but attention is needed for future impact.
Accordion: Remove arrow key and Home/End navigation from spec
Arrow key (Up/Down) and Home/End navigation between accordion headers has been removed from the APG pattern spec. Tab is now the only standard navigation method.
AlertDialog: Clarify aria-modal guidance
Guidance was added to explicitly set aria-modal="true" on alert dialogs. This site already follows this practice.
Dialog Modal: Change sample heading level from H2 to H1
The title element in dialog sample code was changed from <h2> to <h1>. This reflects the principle that dialogs are independent contexts where heading levels can be reset.
Grid: Fix arrow key behavior description
The description of left/right arrow key behavior when cells contain focusable elements was corrected to match the actual specification.
