Refer URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20120103/ARIA1 Note the statement made under 'User Agent and Assistive Technology Support Notes' which states that IE 8 does not support aria-describedby at all. I tested the aria-describedby property using JAWS 13 and IE 8 and it did work barring minor issues. Therefore, I question the credibility of this statement. Note that in IE 8, the aria-describedby property on the text programmatically tied to the control is spoken twice (which could be due to the use of landmark roles). Proposed Change: Change the latter part of the sentence to read, "IE 8 partially supports aria-describedby ..." -Devarshi
