`role="search"`

← Return to main list

This test case is designed to determine how role="search" is announced by various screen readers.

By default, the element being tested does not receive focus, so the only way to test how it is announced is via:

VoiceOver: Announce next item: VO + Right Arrow
NVDA and JAWS: Announce next line: DOWN ARROW

Example

Code

<div role="search">
  <form action="#">
    Test content
  </form>
</div>
