Blazor FloatingActionButton Accessibility
Out of the box, the Telerik UI for Blazor FloatingActionButton provides extensive accessibility support and enables users with disabilities to acquire complete control over its features.
The FloatingActionButton is compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standards and Section 508 requirements, follows the Web Accessibility Initiative - Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) best practices for implementing the keyboard navigation for its component role, provides options for managing its focus and is tested against the most popular screen readers.
WAI-ARIA
This section lists the selectors, attributes, and behavior patterns supported by the component and its composite elements, if any.
The FloatingActionButton features two distinct modes of operation: button-only and button-with-menu.
Button-Only Mode
| Selector | Attribute | Usage |
|---|---|---|
.k-fab | role=button or nodeName=button | Omitted if the <button> DOM element is used. |
aria-label or title | The attribute must be present when no text is initially visible in the button. | |
.k-fab.k-disabled | aria-disabled=true | Rendered only when the button is disabled and the disabled attribute cannot be used. Applicable for the <button> or <input type="button"> elements. |
Button-with-Menu Mode
In the button-with-menu mode, the FloatingActionButton must implement the specification for the DropDownButton component.
