Diagnosing Reported Accessibility Violations in ADF Applications (Doc ID 3047031.1)

Last updated on SEPTEMBER 13, 2024

Applies to:

Oracle JDeveloper - Version 12.2.1.4.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

ARIA Accessibility guidelines consist in a series of rules on how the content of the pages must be built so that they are accessible. During this process, some properties should get added to the HTML tags in order for screen readers to understand the functionality of those tags and be able to communicate it to users. ADF follows the WAI-ARIA specification and is expected to be compliant with those requirements.

However, some browser based tools evaluate these pages from an ADF application and may report some ARIA guidelines violations found in the HTML code generated by the framework.

This tool can be some browser extension installed to evaluate the code, or maybe it is the browser itself, as MS Edge flags the HTML tags that appear to violate the ARIA guidelines.

How to deal with these reports?
