           Summary: HTML5 input type="number" role mapping incorrect
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: faulkner.steve at gmail.com


The HTML5 input type="number" currently is mapped to AXTextField. As it is implemented in webkit as an Incrementor control it is suggested that the accessibility mapping should be:

AXRole:  "AXIncrementor"
 AXSubrole:  "AXTextField"
 AXRoleDescription:  "stepper text field"

The above is suggested as the primary method to interact with the control for keyboard users is via the up/down arrow keys (as it is a stepper control), but it also allows free text entry.
