Workaround Description:Use the stock JSF selectOneRadio component as it does not render with a <fieldset> tag.
Description
The <ice:selectOneRadio> component is rendered as a <fieldset> tag. According to 508 compliance a <fieldset> tag needs to have a <legend> tag which is used by screen readers.
Customer request/suggestions:
It would be great if the selectOneRadio had a "legend" attribute we could set and get passed through as a <legend> tag inside the fieldset (or the label attribute could be used for this as it appears to currently do nothing). It should be noted we have applications using 1.8.2 and 2.0.0 and the issue exists in both.
Sample ICEFaces code:
<ice:selectOneRadio title="test title" label="test label" >
<f:selectItem itemLabel="test 1" itemValue="test 1"/>
<f:selectItem itemLabel="test 2" itemValue="test 2"/>
<f:selectItem itemLabel="test 4" itemValue="test 3"/>
</ice:selectOneRadio>
Rendered HTML:
<fieldset class="iceSelOneRb" id="j_idt11:j_idt73" title="test title">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="iceSelOneRb">
<tr>
<td>
<input id="j_idt11:j_idt73:_1" name="j_idt11:j_idt73" onblur="setFocus('');" onfocus="setFocus(this.id);" onkeypress="Ice.util.radioCheckboxEnter(form,this,event);" type="radio" value="test 1" />
<label class="iceSelOneRb" for="j_idt11:j_idt73:_1">test 1</label>
</td>
<td>
<input id="j_idt11:j_idt73:_2" name="j_idt11:j_idt73" onblur="setFocus('');" onfocus="setFocus(this.id);" onkeypress="Ice.util.radioCheckboxEnter(form,this,event);" type="radio" value="test 2" />
<label class="iceSelOneRb" for="j_idt11:j_idt73:_2">test 2</label>
</td>

<input id="j_idt11:j_idt73:_3" name="j_idt11:j_idt73" onblur="setFocus('');" onfocus="setFocus(this.id);" onkeypress="Ice.util.radioCheckboxEnter(form,this,event);" type="radio" value="test 3" />
<label class="iceSelOneRb" for="j_idt11:j_idt73:_3">test 4</label>

Field Set and Legend Tags
Group together multiple form elements that are of related information using the fieldset tag, and label it with the legend tag. For example, group radio buttons or check boxes in the same category. Visually, this makes more sense to viewers, but also, when a screen reader goes through a form grouped with the fieldset and legend tags, it will read the legend followed by the form element within the grouping. The form below will be read as: Personal Information, First Name, Personal Information, Last Name, Hobbies, Sports, Music, Video Games, Reading.
