https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=18385 --- Comment #10 from Devarshi Pant <devarshipant@gmail.com> 2012-09-10 14:12:57 UTC --- (In reply to comment #9) > In all these cases, if the description works as plain text, you can just hide > the referenced describing element using @hidden. You can reference an iframe if you want to reuse the text elsewhere. How would sighted keyboard users (even non-disabled users) access this information if we use @hidden? Also, based on the response from Laura, longdesc could be a viable alternative here -- it is accessible to everyone. > What's wrong with an ordinary link here? > <th abbr="2013 estimate">2013 estimate<a href=note-5 > rel=help><sup>5</sup</a></th> Nothing is wrong with your suggestion, but table navigation with screen reader is burdensome when keyboard focus shifts because the target (footnote) is outside the table. For large tables that reference footnotes from within <td> or even <th>, managing focus for most user groups can be diffcult. Here longdesc, when used, can be helpful. -- Configure bugmail: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
