Update button and input button allowances by scottaohara · Pull Request #446 · w3c/html-aria (original) (raw)

These PR supersedes #405
This PR makes the allowances for button-elements (button, input type=button|image|submit|reset) more consistent with each other. Additionally, slider and gridcell are now listed under the allowed roles for these elements.
the LOE to properly create the necessary UX for some of these roles when specified, especially on the input type buttons, is rather large but possible. Any failures to not implement these properly would be caught by WCAG rules. Allowing the roles won't change that.
