How to disable field's auoifilling in Chrome with Vaadin? - vaadin

In all input fields in Chrome appear nonsens texts - some texts, that were written in other text field. It seems, that it is connected with default IDs. It can be probably resolved for text fields with setting custom id with setId(..) method. But it doesn't work for datefields, comboboxes etc. while the id is set for the parent div not the input itself eg.:
<div role="combobox" class="v-filterselect v-widget small v-filterselect-small v-has-width" id="Field-1553856663994" style="width: 100%;" autocomplete="off">
<input type="text" class="v-filterselect-input" autocomplete="nope" id="gwt-uid-134" aria-labelledby="gwt-uid-133" style="width: 100%;" tabindex="0" dir="">
<div class="v-filterselect-button" aria-hidden="true" role="button"></div></div>
Is the way in Vaadin to set id for inner element or to disable completion in Chrome?

Chrome the behavior on autocomplete attribute changed a while ago, but it has been until recently we made a change in our implementation according to that in Vaadin 8.
There is lengthy discssion about this in our issue tracker;:: https://github.com/vaadin/framework/issues/11437

How to access a hidden text field in a WebView using XCUITest for iOS automation?

There is a hidden text field in the Web View that pop up in the Native app.
Below is the hidden field design :
<span class="session-id" tabindex="-1"><input autocapitalize="none" autocomplete="off" autocorrect="off" data-testid="session-id" id="session-id" placeholder="session-id" spellcheck="false" tabindex="-1" type="text"></span>
There is another text field inside which is not hidden and also accessible :
<div data-testid="InputIdentityFlowValue-container" class="input-wrapper"><input class="input-InputIdentityFlowValue" type="email" autocomplete="email" autocorrect="off" spellcheck="false" tabindex="0" id="InputIdentityFlowValue" data-testid="InputIdentityFlowValue" placeholder="Email Address" aria-invalid="false" aria-label="Email Address" aria-required="true" required="" value=""></div>
When checked using Safari tool , we are able to identify it in the UI. Need to access this element to pass a value using XCUITest. Tried a lot of querying like XCUIApplication().otherElements, XCUIApplication().webViews.otherElements, descendants, etc etc. But unable to find this text field. Any pointers will be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

vaadin 23 textfield set type

I'm using a vaadin TextField on mobile and want to change the input elements 'type' attribute to 'search' so that on mobile the search button shows up on the on screen keyboard.
The input field is in the shadow dom of the vaadin-text-field element:
<vaadin-text-field class="search" type="search" autocapitalize="none" placeholder="Search packages" style="width: 70%;">
<vaadin-button class="search-field-button" theme="icon primary" slot="prefix" tabindex="0" role="button">
<vaadin-icon class="search-field-icon" icon="vaadin:search" slot="prefix">
</vaadin-icon>
</vaadin-button>
<input slot="input" type="text" id="vaadin-text-field-0" placeholder="Search packages">
<label slot="label" id="label-vaadin-text-field-0" for="vaadin-text-field-0">
</label>
<div slot="error-message" id="error-message-vaadin-text-field-0" hidden="">
</div>
</vaadin-text-field>
Ideally, I want to set this from the java side.
There is a method on the TextField getElement().getShadowRoot() but this comes up empty.
I'm guessing I need some way to access the slot for the input field.
How do I do this?
There is no Java API for this, but you can do it with JavaScript call from Java side.
textField.getElement().executeJs("this.inputElement.setAttribute('type','search');");

Voiceover reading pseudo-elements despite aria-hidden attributes within <label />

I'm creating custom radio / checkbox icons by adding a pseudo-element on a label element with the :before css rule. I've added aria-hidden to the label element, but VO on iOS is still reading the pseudo-element.
I understand that some screen readers will ignore an aria-hidden attribute if the element is providing additional context (this is the case for label elements, since they provide additional information about a connected input element). To get around this I've added a aria-label attribute, but again, this is ignore by VO on iOS. This seems to fix the same problem for other screen reader, browser, and device combinations (Narrator and IE / Edge for example).
I've also tried to add a child span or i element to the label and add the :before css rule and aria-hidden attribute to that, but VO on iOS is still reading the pseudo-element.
Does anyone have any advice for having the screen reader read the correct content?
My basic approach is below (note: won't work in a jsfiddle since I'm not loading my font-face).
You can also view the first example here:
http://uatwww.surveygizmo.com/s3/4102902/Basic-Radio
<input type="radio" id="radio1" value="1" name="example" />
<label for="radio1" class="custom-icon" aria-hidden="true" aria-label="example 1">Example 1</label>
<input type="radio" id="radio2" value="2" name="example" />
<label for="radio2">
<span class="custom-icon" aria-hidden="true" aria-label="example 2"></span>
Example 2
</label>
<input type="radio" id="radio3" value="3" name="example" />
<label for="radio3">
<i class="custom-icon" aria-hidden="true" aria-label="example 3"></i>
Example 3
</label>
<style>
input[type=radio] {
opacity: 0;
position: absolute;
border: 0;
height: 0;
margin: 0;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 0;
}
input[type=radio] + .custom-icon:before,
input[type=radio] + label .custom-icon:before {
content: "\26aa";
}
input[type=radio]:checked + .custom-icon:before,
input[type=radio]:checked + label .custom-icon:before {
content: "\26ab";
}
</style>
I think the problem is that you are giving confusing instructions to both the browser and screenreader. You have an invisible input with CSS content attached to it, which is then associated to a label which is aria-hidden but also has an aria-label. You’re definitely going to get inconsistent interpretations of that markup across different browser/screenreader combinations.
I’ve used Heydon Pickering’s custom control method successfully on a bunch of sites with no problems. It seems like a simpler version of what you’re aiming for. It accessibly hides the input from everyone except screenreader software, puts the CSS content on a span instead of the label or input. He doesn’t use any ARIA, but if more recent versions of VoiceOver announce the CSS content you can just put aria-hidden on the span and let screenreaders treat the label and input as normal.
Concerning radio1, the W3C says:
If the current node is hidden and is not referenced by aria-labelledby or aria-describedby, nor referenced by a native host language text alternative element or attribute, return the empty string.
So as long as you reference an element even though it has the aria-hidden attribute, it will be spoken out.
If you want to give an alternative text for an element, you have to set the aria-label attribute on the element:
<input type="radio" id="radio1" value="1" name="example" aria-label="example 1" />
<label for="radio1" class="custom-icon" aria-hidden="true">Example 1</label>
Pseudo elements have different beheviours on browsers, and as you can see the alternative text for :before elements will be given even though the associated element is marked with the aria-hidden attribute.

Force label float when no input data in Angular Material

In Angular Material, the default design of input directives is for the content within <label> to be displayed in the input element until the user enters some input, at which point it will float above the input element, as seen in all examples here.
Is there any way to force the labels to float above the input box at all times instead, even when no data has been entered?
I think the css class md-input-has-placeholder is what you need:
<md-input-container class="md-input-has-placeholder">
<label>Name</label>
<input type="text"/>
</md-input-container>
Plunker example here
Hope it helps.
The is an official feature for that: floatLabel="always"
The floatLabel property of can be used to change this default floating behavior. It can set to never to hide the label instead of float it when text is present in the form field control. It can be set to always to float the label even when no text is present in the form field control. It can also be set to auto to restore the default behavior.
<mat-form-field floatLabel="always">
<mat-label>Both a label and a placeholder</mat-label>
<input matInput [(ngModel)]="model.value">
</mat-form-field>
source, see the official form-field documentation
With Md-select this worked for me:
<md-input-container style="width: 200px;" md-input-has-placeholder>
<placeholder>Snack Types </placeholder>
<md-select ng-model="selectedOption">
<md-option ng-repeat="item in snacks" >
{{item.name}}
</md-option>
</md-select>
</md-input-container>
For the md-select element, occupy the following:
<md-input-container class="md-input-has-placeholder">
<label md-no-float="true" class="md-required">Snack Types</label>
<md-select ng-model="$ctrl.selection" ng-required="true" md-no-asterisk>
<md-option ng-value="option.id" ng-repeat="option in $ctrl.selection">{{ opcion.value}}</md-option>
</md-select>
</md-input-container>
I used the following CSS to change the label when data is being entered and highlight the other fields:
md-input-container:focus-within > label[class~="md-required"]{
transform: scale(1);
font-weight: bold;
}
And the following CSS so that the asterisk is always in color (you can put the color you want):
md-input-container.md-default-theme:not(.md-input-focused):not(.md-input-invalid) label.md-required:after, md-input-container:not(.md-input-focused):not(.md-input-invalid) label.md-required:after{
color: rgb(255,87,10);
}

How to style Radiobutton list in jQueryMobile 1.4.2 with formatted content

I'm trying to create something like the following in jQueryMobile 1.4.2 - i.e. a list of radio buttons with content to explain each option. This is a jquery screenshot from version 1.2 from this great article best practices article. The size of the description text is smaller than the body text.
However when I copy his sample code directly from it comes out sized incorrectly like this (other controls shown for reference size).
Here's the sample code
<fieldset data-role="controlgroup">
<input type="radio" name="radio-choice-1" id="radio-choice-1" value="choice-1" checked="checked" />
<label for="radio-choice-1">
<h3 class="ui-li-heading">jQuery Mobile</h3>
<p class="ui-li-desc">Easy and great for all project from smartphones to dumbphones</p>
</label>
<input type="radio" name="radio-choice-1" id="radio-choice-2" value="choice-2" />
<label for="radio-choice-2">
<h3 class="ui-li-heading">Sencha Touch</h3>
<p class="ui-li-desc">Great for complex apps but a higher learning curve</p>
</label>
<input type="radio" name="radio-choice-1" id="radio-choice-3" value="choice-3" />
<label for="radio-choice-3">
<h3 class="ui-li-heading">jQTouch</h3>
<p class="ui-li-desc">Simple, lightweight, but focused on webkit</p>
</label>
</fieldset>
It turns out the reason the above code no longer works is that it references css class name ul-li-desc which used to be in jquery mobile 1.2.1 css but is no longer in the latest css for version 1.4.2.
The new 1.4.2 version has sample code for something very similar in the ListView component that looks like this
The css class that reduces the size of the font here is .ui-listview>li p
So what's the correct way in jQuery Mobile 1.4.2 to create a radio button list with added content that isn't huge?
The easiest way to undetstand jQM CSS structure, is to firebug current view. jQM changes HTML markup based on widget as it adds extra elements and wraps others in order to each the final UI.
Bear in mind, you have to be specific and caucious when overriding jQM styles. Most of the widgets share the same classes (global classes).
Also note that as of jQM 1.4 to increase performance, the team has reduced the amount of inner elements that are you used for styling widgets.
/* <p> within <label> */
label p {
font-size: .9em;
font-weight: 400;
display: block;
}
/* <h3> & <p> within <label> */
label h3, label p {
margin: .45em;
}
/* adjust position of radio button itself */
.ui-radio input, label.ui-btn:after {
top: 35% !important;
}
