Progress Bar Announcement Issue

Actual Results

When screen reader users navigate to the progress bar in the "Progress" column, the screen reader announces incorrect values (e.g., "2" and "1") instead of the actual progress values displayed by the progress bar (e.g., "50" and "100"). This issue occurs because the values specified in the aria-valuenow and aria-valuemax attributes of the <div> element representing the progress bar do not accurately reflect the visual progress state.

As a result, screen reader users receive inaccurate progress information and may be unable to determine the actual completion status of an item. This can lead to confusion and prevent users from understanding the progress details conveyed visually.

Expected Results

The progress bar should accurately convey its current value and status to screen reader users.

Apply the following changes:

• Ensure the progress bar is exposed with the appropriate role="progressbar".
• Update the aria-valuenow attribute to accurately reflect the current progress value (e.g., "50", "100").
• Ensure the aria-valuemax attribute is set to the correct maximum value.
• Verify that the values provided through aria-valuenow, aria-valuemin, and aria-valuemax are consistent with the visual representation of the progress bar.

Note: This code example is intended only as a general illustration of how to address the violation and should not be considered a complete or production-ready solution. If you have any questions, please attach this ticket to a #help-accessibility request.

Code Snippet:

<div role="progressbar"
aria-valuemin="0"
aria-valuemax="100"
aria-valuenow="50"
aria-label="Progress Bar">
</div>
