radio buttons are used to accept multiple choices from the user
Answers
Radio buttons allow a user to select a single option among multiple options. You can set the Choice Value of each option, for each button, as well as group these buttons by giving them the same Group Name. Radio buttons have Default styling.
Answer:
In 2017, I and a small group of colleagues collaborated on a series of accessibility workshops that we delivered as pre-conference sessions at three national conferences, AHEAD, EDUCAUSE, and Accessing Higher Ground. If you were a participant in any of these workshops, you're about to receive a follow-up survey. This blog post documents my quest for an online tool for conducting the survey. My #1 criterion for choosing a tool is whether the tool generates accessible output. My #2 criterion is whether the tool is accessible to survey authors with disabilities, but I didn't specifically evaluate that for this blog post.
To keep things simple, I tested only one question type: Multiple choice with radio buttons.
The first question on my survey is this: "Where did you attend our accessibility workshop?" There are three possible answers: Accessing Higher Ground, AHEAD, and EDUCAUSE. Users are required to select one of the answers.
For this to be fully accessible to screen reader users, the following information should be communicated via their screen reader:
Each answer
The question
That the field is required
The current state of each radio button ("checked" or "not checked")
The number of options, and the user's position within those options (e.g., "2 of 3")
