Adding WAI-ARIA roles to a Dynamic Layout

WAI-ARIA roles are added to a dynamic layout to provide semantic information about the role of the dynamic layout on the page. The settings for WAI-ARIA roles appear on the General tab of the dynamic layout properties modal dialog. To add an ARIA role to a dynamic layout:

  1. Click the gear icon on a dynamic layout to open the properties.
  2. In the dynamic layout cell properties, expand the Accessibility options.
  3. Select a Role Type. For a description of the various role types and subsequent values, visit the World Wide Web Consortium web site at w3.org.
  4. Select a Value. The value will differ depending on the role type selected.
  5. Add a label in the Descriptors area. The label should be a short description of that the dynamic layout content.
