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.

For example: Can cells inherit the "aria-selected" state or "aria-haspopup" property from their parent rows and then communicate that state to AT when the cells are focused? This would make sense considering the recommended keyboard access for grids is to move focus through the cells with the arrow keys. But if this is the idea, I haven't found this to work in practice. So, I figured I would step back and validate my interpretation of the ARIA Spec. > > Thanks, > Todd Kloots > Accessibility Engineer > Yahoo!, Inc. >
