1563428 - Expose numeric value information in Accessibility Properties

Status: NEW

(DevTools :: Accessibility Tools, enhancement)

Description

[James Teh [:Jamie]]

We already expose the "value" property, which is usually sufficient. However, numeric controls can have minimum, current and maximum values, as well as a textual value. (In ARIA, these map from aria-valuemin, aria-valuenow, aria-valuemax and aria-valuetext.) In that case, "value" just exposes the textual value. Since these things can be controlled by the author, I think it'd be useful to expose them in Accessibility Properties.

A real world (if somewhat obscure and rare) use case for this is bug 1357071, where I'm mentoring someone to fix our exposure of default numeric values for ARIA scrollbar/slider. If this were exposed in Accessibility Properties, we wouldn't need to rely on a platform accessibility inspector to verify this information.
