RE: ACTION-2107: proposal for Revised aria-details description

What about aria-details and aria-errormessage?

It would be problematic if aria-errormessage is overridden by aria-details.

Do we need normative language added to this section that says that when both
aria-details and aria-errormessage are present on a form field with
aria-invalid="true" the aria-errormessage takes precedence over
aria-details?

This language could be simplified and added to the aria-errormessage section
as a note.

 

"Note: When aria-errormessage is present on an invalid formfield it takes
precedence over other description properties such as aria-describedby and
aria-details).

All,

 

The action2107-aria-details branch in the ARIA repository contains a
proposal for a revised description of the aria-details property.

[Jason] +1 to the proposal. As I read it, if both aria-details and
aria-describedby are specified, the UA may supply both of them in the
accessibility tree, but, since this is not supported on some platforms, only
the availability of aria-details is guaranteed in that situation.

I look forward to reviewing the corresponding provisions of the AAM.
