To meet WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, your web application must follow perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust design principles. This involves auditing interactive elements and implementing semantic HTML, ARIA patterns, and keyboard navigation.

Adding ARIA roles to a complex form component for screen reader compatibility requires reviewing the existing HTML structure and applying specific ARIA attributes, roles, and states. This ensures screen readers correctly interpret interactive elements.

The best way to ensure keyboard navigation works is by auditing your interactive elements and verifying that focus management is handled correctly. All functionality must be accessible without a mouse using proper semantic HTML.

Yes, you can use this to audit a current page for perceivable and operable accessibility issues. It evaluates your web application against WCAG 2.1 AA criteria to identify areas where semantic HTML or ARIA patterns need implementation.

Dynamic web components need ARIA attributes and focus management because standard HTML lacks the semantics to announce dynamic changes. Proper ARIA patterns and keyboard navigation ensure screen reader users understand state changes.

You need semantic HTML as the baseline for web accessibility, using ARIA roles only when native HTML elements cannot convey the necessary semantics. ARIA supplements semantic HTML to handle complex interactions for screen reader users.
