Re: aria-selected state for grid rows

Hi, Todd.

In Firefox the grid cell gets selected state from aria-selected
defined either on the cell or on its parent row. Iirc that doesn't
work for aria-haspopup. It's recommended that focus navigation happens
on cells rather than rows so that AT can grab exact information where
the user is in and not announce the whole row.

Thanks.
Alexander.
