Description Andi Snow-Weaver 2010-02-09 14:51:14 UTC 
Created from Issue 80: http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/80

Per the November 24 ARIA working group meeting ensure the implementer's guide establishes a controls relationship between tab and tabpanel when the labelledby relationship is set.

2009-05-13 15:35:43: The UAIG currently has the following:

Forward relations:
* aria-labelledby maps to RELATION_LABELLED_BY
Reverse relations:
* If aria-labelledby points to the element: expose RELATION_LABEL_FOR

Are you suggesting that these also need to map to RELATION_CONTROLLER_FOR and RELATION_CONTROLLED_BY for tab/tabpanel?

Firefox will expose this if aria-controls is supplied.

We think this belongs in the authoring best practices document.
