Invalid combination of role and aria-placeholder on date range picker

Hi,


After running an accessibility check on a page using the SfDateRangePicker, I noticed that it produces an invalid combination for ARIA.

If you add a Placeholder to the SfDateRangePicker, it will automatically add the aria-placeholder attribute. But since the input created also has the role "combobox", the aria-placeholder attribute is considered invalid as it only supports the "textbox" or "searchbox" roles.

See this page for reference: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-placeholder


So my question, is there a way to change the SfDateRangePicker role to be a textbox to ensure it using the aria-placeholder attribute in a valid way?

Thanks!

Bruno

Hi,


Thanks for the reply. Same as another issue I had written about, I noticed that I tried it with an older version (19.x), but after upgrading to the latest there was no aria-placeholder attribute.


Thanks again!

Bruno

Hi Bruno,


The DateRangePicker component renders the calendar as a popup element. So we used the role as combobox in the component. We suggest you refer to the below public blog for the above query.
