Accessibility

The za11y (zk-accessibility) module (currently in preview) enables developers to create WCAG 2 compliant applications. Key features include keyboard interaction and screen reader support. An accessibility-ready theme (wcag*) should be used along with the module to deliver sufficient contrast.

A za11y demo project can be found in github.

Installation

Be sure to include za11y.jar to your project and specify one of the accessibility-ready themes.

Specify ARIA Attributes

You can specify arbitrary ARIA attribute on a component with namespace "client/attribute". For example you can add an aria-label like

<zk  xmlns:ca="client/attribute">
    <div ca:aria-hidden="true"/>
    <textbox ca:aria-label="${field}"/>
</zk>
