-------------------------------------
Summary: Autocompelete suggestion list not read by screen reader
Key: WICKET-6775
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-6775
Project: Wicket
Issue Type: Bug
Components: wicket-extensions
Reporter: ramesh valasa
As part of accessibility compliance, we see autocomplete suggestion list is not
able to read by screen reader(NVDA).
use case:
-------------
Start NVDA and click on the autocomplete text field then type some
letters, we see suggestion list apears. Then use arrow key to navigate among
the list. screen reader is only promting the value in the textfield not the
value from the list.
Expected:
-------------
Screen reader read the value from the suggestio list when we navigate through
arrow keys.
Solution direction:
------------------
1) Add unique id's to the suggestion list items
2) when ever we navigation through list items using arrow key, add
aria-activedescendant attibute to text field with value as id of the list item
example:
