<a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles#2._widget_roles">widget roles</a>, including <code>progressbar</code>, <code>meter</code>, and <code>slider</code>.</p> <p>The <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles/progressbar_role"><code>progressbar</code></a> role, similar to HTML's <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/progress"><code><progress></code></a> element, is a read-only range indicating the portion of completion of a task, progressing in a single direction, such as a file upload's loading progress bar that eventually reaches 100% when fully loaded.</p> <p>The <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles/meter_role"><code>meter</code></a> role, similar to HTML's <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/meter"><code><meter></code></a> element, is a read-only gauge indicating the amount of something within a known range, such as a computer's battery indicator or a car's gas gauge.</p> <p>The <code>slider</code> role, similar to HTML's <code>input</code> of type <code>range</code>, <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/range"><code><input type="range"></code></a>, is a read-write input range. Sliders allow users to select a value between set minimum and maximum values. The user selects a value by moving a slider thumb along a horizontal or vertical slider to select a value.</p> <p>While all three of these ranges have the same ARIA states and properties, the <code>slider</code> role is the only read-write range: it is the only one whose value changes via user interaction. As such, it must be able to receive focus. In addition, keyboard interaction, mouse clicks, and touch interaction must be supported.</p> <div class="notecard warning"> <p><strong>Warning:</strong> To change the slider value, touch-based assistive technologies need to respond to user gestures for increasing and decreasing the value by synthesizing key events. Fully test slider widgets using assistive technologies on devices where touch is a primary input mechanism before using the <code>slider</code> role (and all range widgets).</p> </div> <h4 id="common_attributes">Common attributes</h4> <p>The <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-valuemin"><code>aria-valuemin</code></a> attribute sets the minimum value. If omitted or not a number, it defaults to <code>0</code> (zero).</p> <p>The <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-valuemax"><code>aria-valuemax</code></a> attribute defines the maximum value. If it is missing or not a number, it defaults to 100.</p> <p>The <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-valuenow"><code>aria-valuenow</code></a> attribute value must be between the minimum and maximum values, inclusive. This attribute is required for <code>slider</code> and <code>meter</code>, and optional for <code>progressbar</code>.</p> <p>For <code>slider</code>, unless using the <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/range"><code><input type="range"></code></a> element, the <code>aria-valuenow</code> value must be updated programmatically when the user updates the value.</p> <p>The optional <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-valuetext"><code>aria-valuetext</code></a> attribute is included when the <code>aria-valuenow</code> numeric value doesn't reflect the intended value of the slider. As the minimum, maximum, and current values are all numeric, when the values those numbers represent are not numeric, the <code>aria-valuetext</code> attribute should be included with a string value defining the numeric value. For example, if using a slider for t-shirt sizes, the <code>aria-valuetext</code> attribute should shift from xx-small through to XX-large as the <code>aria-valuenow</code> increases.</p> <p>The <code>aria-valuetext</code> value must be updated as the <code>value</code> or <code>aria-valuenow</code> is updated. While there is no equivalent HTML attribute for <code><input type="range"></code>, you can include <code>aria-valuetext</code> on any <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input"><code><input></code></a> type. ARIA attributes are supported on semantic HTML elements.</p> <p>When <code>aria-valuetext</code> is an important feature for a slider, consider using <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/select"><code><select></code></a> with <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/option"><code><option></code></a> elements instead. While not visually a range, every option's value is more accessible to all users, not just users of assistive technology.</p> <p>An accessible name is <strong>required</strong>. If the range's role is applied to an HTML <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input"><code><input></code></a> element (or <code><meter></code> or <code><progress></code> element), the accessible name can come from the associated <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/label"><code><label></code></a>. Otherwise use <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-labelledby"><code>aria-labelledby</code></a> if a visible label is present or <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-label"><code>aria-label</code></a> if a visible label is not present.</p> <p>When not using the HTML <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input"><code><input></code></a> element to create your slider, include the <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/tabindex"><code>tabindex</code></a> attribute to make the slider focusable. Of the three range types, only <code>slider</code> is user-interactive, and so is the only one that requires being able to receive focus. Focus should be placed on the slider thumb.</p> <p>Sliders have an implicit <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-orientation"><code>aria-orientation</code></a> value of <code>horizontal</code>. This attribute is not supported with <code>meter</code> or <code>progressbar</code>.</p></div></section><section aria-labelledby="user_interactions"><h3 id="user_interactions"><a href="#user_interactions">User interactions</a></h3><div class="section-content"><p>Unlike the read-only <code>meter</code> and <code>progressbar</code> roles, a <code>slider</code> is an input, accepting user interaction. In addition to including the <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/tabindex"><code>tabindex</code></a> attribute to enable slider focus, keyboard and pointer device support must be implemented.</p> <p>The slider represents the range of possible values. The position of the slider thumb along the slider represents the current value. User actions that must be supported include changing the value by dragging the thumb or clicking the slider for pointing devices and using directional keys such as arrow keys for the keyboard users. See <a href="#keyboard_interactions">keyboard interactions</a> below.</p> <div class="notecard note"> <p><strong>Note:</strong> It is recommended to use native <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/range"><code><input type="range"></code></a> elements rather than the <code>slider</code> role. User agents provide a stylized widget for the range input element, based on the current <code>value</code> as it relates to the minimum and maximum values. When using non-semantic elements, all features of the native semantic element need to be recreated with ARIA attributes, JavaScript and CSS.</p> </div></div></section><section aria-labelledby="range_with_multiple_thumbs"><h3 id="range_with_multiple_thumbs"><a href="#range_with_multiple_thumbs">Range with multiple thumbs</a></h3><div class="section-content"><p>A multi-thumb slider is a slider with two or more thumbs that each set a value in a group of related values. For example, in a product search, a two-thumb slider could be used to enable users to set the minimum and maximum price limits for the search.</p> <p>In many two-thumb sliders, the thumbs are not allowed to pass one another, such as when the slider sets the minimum and maximum values for a range. For example, in a price-range selector, the maximum value of the thumb that sets the lower end of the range is limited by the current value of the thumb that sets the upper end of the range. The minimum value of the upper-end thumb is also limited by the current value of the lower-end thumb.</p> <p>It is not a requirement that the thumbs in multi-thumb sliders be dependent on the other thumb values, but intuitive user experience is a requirement, so it is recommended to avoid this anti-pattern.</p></div></section><section aria-labelledby="all_descendants_are_presentational"><h3 id="all_descendants_are_presentational"><a href="#all_descendants_are_presentational">All descendants are presentational</a></h3><div class="section-content"><p>There are some types of user interface components that, when represented in a platform accessibility API, can only contain text.

Sliders allow users to select a value between set minimum and maximum values. The user selects a value by moving a slider thumb along a horizontal or vertical slider to select a value.</p>\n<p>While all three of these ranges have the same ARIA states and properties, the <code>slider</code> role is the only read-write range: it is the only one whose value changes via user interaction. As such, it must be able to receive focus. In addition, keyboard interaction, mouse clicks, and touch interaction must be supported.</p>\n<div class=\"notecard warning\">\n<p><strong>Warning:</strong>\nTo change the slider value, touch-based assistive technologies need to respond to user gestures for increasing and decreasing the value by synthesizing key events.\nFully test slider widgets using assistive technologies on devices where touch is a primary input mechanism before using the <code>slider</code> role (and all range widgets).</p>\n</div>\n<h4 id=\"common_attributes\">Common attributes</h4>\n<p>The <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-valuemin\"><code>aria-valuemin</code></a> attribute sets the minimum value. If omitted or not a number, it defaults to <code>0</code> (zero).</p>\n<p>The <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-valuemax\"><code>aria-valuemax</code></a> attribute defines the maximum value. If it is missing or not a number, it defaults to 100.</p>\n<p>The <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-valuenow\"><code>aria-valuenow</code></a> attribute value must be between the minimum and maximum values, inclusive. This attribute is required for <code>slider</code> and <code>meter</code>, and optional for <code>progressbar</code>.</p>\n<p>For <code>slider</code>, unless using the <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/range\"><code><input type=\"range\"></code></a> element, the <code>aria-valuenow</code> value must be updated programmatically when the user updates the value.</p>\n<p>The optional <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-valuetext\"><code>aria-valuetext</code></a> attribute is included when the <code>aria-valuenow</code> numeric value doesn't reflect the intended value of the slider. As the minimum, maximum, and current values are all numeric, when the values those numbers represent are not numeric, the <code>aria-valuetext</code> attribute should be included with a string value defining the numeric value. For example, if using a slider for t-shirt sizes, the <code>aria-valuetext</code> attribute should shift from xx-small through to XX-large as the <code>aria-valuenow</code> increases.</p>\n<p>The <code>aria-valuetext</code> value must be updated as the <code>value</code> or <code>aria-valuenow</code> is updated. While there is no equivalent HTML attribute for <code><input type=\"range\"></code>, you can include <code>aria-valuetext</code> on any <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input\"><code><input></code></a> type. ARIA attributes are supported on semantic HTML elements.</p>\n<p>When <code>aria-valuetext</code> is an important feature for a slider, consider using <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/select\"><code><select></code></a> with <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/option\"><code><option></code></a> elements instead. While not visually a range, every option's value is more accessible to all users, not just users of assistive technology.</p>\n<p>An accessible name is <strong>required</strong>. If the range's role is applied to an HTML <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input\"><code><input></code></a> element (or <code><meter></code> or <code><progress></code> element), the accessible name can come from the associated <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/label\"><code><label></code></a>.

Of the three range types, only <code>slider</code> is user-interactive, and so is the only one that requires being able to receive focus. Focus should be placed on the slider thumb.</p>\n<p>Sliders have an implicit <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-orientation\"><code>aria-orientation</code></a> value of <code>horizontal</code>.

The minimum value of the upper-end thumb is also limited by the current value of the lower-end thumb.</p>\n<p>It is not a requirement that the thumbs in multi-thumb sliders be dependent on the other thumb values, but intuitive user experience is a requirement, so it is recommended to avoid this anti-pattern.</p>"}},{"type":"prose","value":{"id":"all_descendants_are_presentational","title":"All descendants are presentational","isH3":true,"content":"<p>There are some types of user interface components that, when represented in a platform accessibility API, can only contain text.
