Paper Elements Accessibility

[rodrigoprestesmachado]

Hello,

I was trying to use Polymer in a project but I realize that some Paper Elements does not implement appropriated WAI-ARIA specification. Do you have plans to add this feature in core and paper elements?

Best regards,
Rodrigo

Related: googlearchive/paper-elements#17 There's active work at the moment to improve the accessibility of the paper-* elements. There's still much work to be done here however. If you have specific feedback ARIA feedback or requests for individual elements, issues are always welcome :)

Thank you Addy,

I believe that the common elements, like buttons or inputs, need to implement ARIA. For example, the current version of paper-button do not implement accessibility. However, the there are some tutoriais in w3c that describe how to implement accessibility (button - http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices/#button)

I have a lot of interesting to add accessibility in Polymer elements. I was trying to create some components but I realize the its better to add this feature and improve the current elements. I don't know if its possible, but, maybe I can help.
