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,
Rodolfo Moreira
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:

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,GM
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.
