WAI-ARIA

Short for Web Accessibility Initiative-Accessible Rich Internet Applications, WAI-ARIA is a set of web standards that define how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities. For example, an aria-label is an attribute that helps screen readers and other assistive technologies identify web page elements by giving them a label. For example, the <input> search boxes found on our website have the aria-label "search" to communicate their purpose to assistive technologies.

<input aria-label="search" type="text">
