ARIA meter nodes must have an accessible name
What is the problem?
The aria-meter-name rule ensures that every element with the role="meter" attribute has an accessible name.
Impacted Groups
Why is this important?
Screen reader users rely on accessible names to understand the purpose and value of elements. A meter visually represents a number within a set range, like a battery percentage indicator. Without a name, they may miss important information or be unable to interpret the meter's meaning.
How to solve this issue
To fix this issue, provide an accessible name for the meter element using either the aria-label or aria-labelledby attribute. This will ensure that screen reader users can understand the purpose and value of the meter.
