[OutSystems UI] Range Slider Accessibility Suggestion

Forge component by Gonçalo Martins

Hi OutSystems UI Team,

I've been exploring the 'range slider' component and noticed an area where we could improve its accessibility. 

When running some accessibility scans, I've found that the 'aria-valuetext' attribute doesn't provide a meaningful description. As a suggestion for enhancement, could we consider replacing 'aria-valuetext' with 'aria-currentvalue'? 

This would offer a clearer and more descriptive representation of the selected value, thus improving accessibility for all users.

Looking forward to your thoughts on this.


Best regards,

Hello @rodolfo moreira 

As mentioned in my previous message, yesterday we released version 2.17.0 which brings some accessibility improvements for both Range Sliders under the task ROU-4366.

After running the same tool you used I could confirm it passed all tests for it as well:

Hello @rodolfo moreira 

Thanks for reaching out. Could you please be clearer about the tools you used and the specific issues you have found?
As a matter of fact, the next release (v2.17.0) has an ETA of Sep 11th and contains several accessibility issues on Range Slider/Interval based on an assessment made with the following tools - LightHouse, Axe, Wave, Siteimprove, Talkback, Voiceover and NVDA.
For the release notes you can use code ROU-4366 as a reference on the release notes.

Cheers,

Hi @Gonçalo Martins.

I got that error using the "Accessible Web Helper" Extension.


The Screenshot is not a very clear error, my first interpretation is the names had some problems. However, I ran the tool on the new version and I couldn't find any error. The new " aria-label='handler' "  fixed the issue.
