ExpectationsImportant: The aria-controls attribute has expectations that are not directly testable by end users. Continue to use it if it is required by the specification, even if user-facing expectation support is poor. For more information, see FAQ: What about expectations that are not directly testable by users?.
Screen Reader support by expectation Expectation: convey the presence of the aria-controls attribute Rationale:Users need to be aware that an element has aria-controls functionality. If the presence of the attribute is not explicitly conveyed, then users may not be aware of the functionality. However, some screen readers may choose to not convey the presence by default since the controlled element is usually directly after the controlling element in the reading order and easily findable. In these situations, explicitly conveying the presence could be unnecessarily verbose.
Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:This is not a MUST requirement, because the functionality could still be discoverable via the screen reader's command to jump to the controlled element. If the command fails, the attribute is not present.
Examples:The controlled element might not be close to the element with aria-controls and the user might find it convenient to jump directly to the controlled element.
