This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
the ascii art example in the ARIA section is misleading as it states "Using the features described in this section, one can instead make the ATs skip the ASCII art and just read the caption:" In current browser/AT implementations it does not provide this functionality and I can't find the source of the assumption that it would. If a reference can be provided it would be useful. Suggest removing the example or modify it to reflect that it doesn't do what is says it does. Also, the spelling of aria-labelledby in the code example is incorrect.

So please either explain how you came to the conclusion that it does what you say it does or remove the example.

By giving the container element the role "img", all the child elements of the container element will be considered presentationl. This is descirbed in ARIA 1.0: http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/complete#childrenArePresentational http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/complete#img As a result, the the labeling elements for the role="img" element has to be pointed to via aria-labelledby, like Ian has done. As a result of Ian fixing the spelling of aria-labelledby, VoiceOver on Mac OS X 10.5 works ase Ian describes. Thus I see no error in Ian's description. Which implementations of ARIA 1.0 works differently and what is the difference?

Hi leif, thanks for the info, I now understand how it works and why and it does indeed work as described in voiceover, but not in jaws etc on windows. closing the issue as resolved fixed.
