Feel free to cc me. Can you recommend a version of Firefox and a version of some AT, to start testing with? NOTE: What I am looking for is that the full semantics are exposed as long as the element to which @aria-describedby points, is *not* hidden. For example, the element to which @aria-describedby points, could for instance be located at the bottom of the page, but without being hidden.. Tonight, I have checked, once more, that VoiceOver on Mac OS X Leopard, does not - at least not in its default settings - reveal 'full semantics', such as links, tables or headings if and when @aria-describedby points to a, fully visible, section on the page. -- Leif Halvard Silli
