Out of the box, the Kendo UI for jQuery Popup provides extensive accessibility support and enables users with disabilities to acquire complete control over its features.
The Popup 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 Popup is a utility component that positions content next to a specific anchor element. As a container component, it delegates the majority of accessibility responsibilities to the consuming component or developer.
The Popup provides the positioning and visibility mechanics for overlay content. When integrating the Popup into custom scenarios, developers are responsible for applying the appropriate ARIA attributes to the popup content to ensure an accessible experience. The consuming component should set
role,aria-label,aria-expanded, and any other required attributes based on the popup usage pattern (dialog, menu, listbox, etc.).
Section 508
The Popup is fully compliant with the Section 508 requirements.
