ARIA Sins and Test Pages: What not to do with Widgets

These links are widgets that have errors - they are great for testing your testing tools or testing your debugging skills.

• Alerts
• Combobox
• Menus
• Tab panel
• Forms
• Overuse and labels

Samples are often taken from other sources and errors are inserted.

Original pages include: http://test.cita.illinois.edu/aria/index.php and http://www.oaa-accessibility.org/examples/

Patterns taken from http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices

Things to looks for:

• Technical conformance tests, such as:
  • Check required states (see see roles requirements for authors )
  • Check elements are labeled
• Check how to identify when the role is needed
• Test keyboard interaction

See our testing guide for a detailed discussion on testing widgets.
