1858051 - Fix ComputedARIARole for <input type="search"> (WPT html-aam/roles.html)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, enhancement)

Description

[James Teh [:Jamie]]

For <input type="search">, ComputedARIARole currently returns "textbox". It should return "searchbox". Fixing this will address the failing "el-input-search" test case in this WPT test.

There are two ways we could fix this:

1. Add a special case for IsSearchbox() in ComputedARIARole(). In that case, we would probably remove the existing role="searchbox" special case.
2. Add a dedicated Gecko role for searchbox, which would also allow us to remove the hard-coded role="searchbox" case from ComputedARIARole().

The markup <input type="search"> will report a ComputedARIARole of "textbox,"
which isn't correct - it should return "searchbox." To address this issue, this
revision implements a change to ComputedARIARole for searchboxes, checking
IsSearchbox() and returning the searchbox atom if so. This revision also enables
the previously expected-failure relevant web platform test, since we now pass it.
