Bug 176710 – AX: Fields that are autofill-able but don't have an AutoFill button should still be announced as autofill-able

• Component: Accessibility
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Maureen Daum]

AX: Fields that are autofill-able but don't have an AutoFill button should still be announced as autofill-able. Currently VO only announces that fields have AutoFill available if there is an AutoFill button in the field. However, there are fields where AutoFill is available but we choose not to show the AutoFill button in them. There should be some way to mark these fields that don't have an AutoFill button as being autofill-able so that VO can announce it.

will isAutoFillAvailable() always be true if button type == None?

how will users activate auto fill if there's no button to press?

Sure thing!

isAutoFillAvailable() will only be true on the text fields that Safari sets it on. Users can use the arrow keys to activate autofill. The VoiceOver announcement specifies, "To open the autofill menu, press the up or down arrow key, then press the return key to enter it into the form."
