Ensuring ARIA Roles and States Conform to WCAG Compliance in a C# Blazor App
I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me. I'm reviewing some code and Integrating accessibility features into a Blazor application has proven to be quite a challenge, especially when it comes to implementing ARIA roles and states correctly. For instance, I'm trying to set up a custom component that represents a button but needs to adhere to WCAG 2.1 standards. The goal is to ensure that screen readers can accurately announce the button's state. Here's a simplified version of the button component I designed: ```razor <button @onclick="OnClick" aria-pressed="@IsPressed" class="my-button"> @ButtonText </button> ``` I initially set `aria-pressed` based on a boolean variable `IsPressed`, which switches between true and false when the button is clicked. However, I'm uncertain if this is the best practice. I've consulted various resources and the official documentation on Blazor, but I’m still not convinced that I’m handling the ARIA roles correctly. For example, should I be using a different role or property to match user expectations better? After reading through several articles, I also considered using `role="button"` explicitly, even though the button element should inherently be recognized as such. Moreover, I’ve noticed that some users reported issues with screen readers not accurately reading the button's state. I’m curious if this is a common issue with ARIA implementations in Blazor or if it’s something specific to my code. As part of my investigation, I’ve also tested this with VoiceOver and NVDA, but the feedback was inconsistent. Has anyone had similar experiences? Any suggestions or examples showcasing proper ARIA usage in Blazor that can guide me towards better compliance would be greatly appreciated. For reference, I’m using Blazor WebAssembly version 3.2.0 and aiming for WCAG AA compliance. Thank you in advance for your insights! Thanks for your help in advance! This is my first time working with C# 3.11. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
