RE: Important concerns with naming calculation 'name from content' not being included in parent role accessible name.

Thanks,
That makes sense to me as well.

At present however the accessible name of the tab is null (""), and there is nothing conveyed in the accessibility tree as the name for the tab in Firefox regardless.

So are we all in agreement then, that if children presentational is true on a specific role, then it doesn't matter if name from content is missing from a child construct role?

Is this actually clearly conveyed in the naming calculation?

Thanks,
Bryan

Bryan,

Spec says tab has presentational true. Table is not a required owned element or required context role for tab. So, the table should disappear and the code you provided should use the text node of the table to calculate the name ... that is what the spec says.

In theory yes, but where does it say in the spec this is required?

This is a boiled down version of something that was used in one of our client websites that has been accessible for 3 years, but now is broken in Firefox because of this change.

We should not be breaking accessibility as we go forward.

As this is a table for layout
- it should have
role=presentation on it. This
would then work wouldn't it?

Subject: Important concerns
with naming calculation 'name
from content' not being
included in parent role
accessible name.

Hi,
As most of us spoke of this
last Monday in the APG call, I
wanted to raise important
concerns about the
interpretation of the naming
calculation, that specific
roles that do not include
'name from content' are not
being included in the parent
role accessible name
calculation.

It was pointed out that this
change is already included in
Firefox, and I have built a
sample that demonstrates why
this global interpretation is
dangerous. The following
markup structure is now
totally inaccessible in
Firefox as a result of this
change.

<div tabindex="0" role="tab">
	<table>
		<tr>
			<td>
Inbox </td>
			<td>
(23) </td>
		</tr>
	</table>
</div>

Such a global interpretation
would not just apply to all
explicitly applied roles but
to all implicitly mapped ones
as well, and it is impossible
to predict how and in what
order all developers will need
to apply ARIA roles in order
to ensure accessibility in the
future and that doesn't take
into account what people are
already doing right now.

Aaron, can you please include
the markup example here that
you spoke of to demonstrate
why this is a needed globally
applied interpretation?

Thanks,
Bryan
