That should be the value in a name/value pair, not part of the name. That's what IE does. Does FF add the user-entered value to the name now? 31120 1 dbolter 2010-01-19 15:22:56 +0000 E.g. http://www.marcozehe.de/2008/03/23/easy-aria-tip-2-aria-labelledby-and-aria-describedby/ 31122 2 andi.snowweaver 2010-01-19 15:31:12 +0000 Proposal: In section 4.6.1, item 2B, http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria-implementation/#mapping_additional_nd <change> For such cases, include the value of the embedded control as part of the text alternative in the following manner: </change> <to> For such cases, user agents MAY include the value of the embedded control as part of the text alternative in the following manner: </to> Need to review this with ARIA TF since the same text is used in both the WAI-ARIA spec and the UAIG. 41816 3 andi.snowweaver 2010-10-28 15:28:48 +0000 Cynthia to test what IE does for this case. 42404 4 cyns 2010-11-11 02:12:06 +0000 IE does not add the user-entered value of an <input type=text> to the name. I tried it with and without labels, in IE8 and IE9 Beta. I think IE's behavior is correct. If the AT wants to repair by reading the value when the name is null, that's fine, but the browser should be reporting what is in the markup. 42426 5 andi.snowweaver 2010-11-11 12:26:05 +0000 So we have a conflict. FF includes it, IE doesn't. Since this is in both the spec and the UAIG, we can't just change it in the UAIG.
