No one, but there isn't much point in using aria-labelledby if you're gonna hide the label. In that case, it'd be easier to use aria-label or @title. From the spec: If the label text is visible on screen, authors SHOULD use aria- labelledby and SHOULD NOT use aria-label. Use aria-label only if the interface is such that it is not possible to have a visible label on the screen. http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria/#aria-label http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria/#aria-labelledbyReceived on Wednesday, 20 May 2009 07:41:16 GMT
