RE: AccName question about multiple description edge case

Thanks,
I understand, and have always thought the invisible loss of accessible information was strange.

Should this be raised as an issue to be added to the naming computation, or should this be ignored as something everybody knows and just deals with?

Thanks,
Bryan

It is the expected result because the title is a swing attribute that fills an empty accname or accdesciption

My preference would be that if it is different then it is a concatenation with the accdescrption...

There a lot if override errors in the wild

Hi Bryan,

I understood this as override accepted by the group ever since the very beginning.
Not clear where exactly this is handled in the accessible description computation requirements.

Personally, I feel unhappy with this override.

Stefan

Subject: AccName question about multiple description edge case

Hi,
I'd like to verify the expectation for the following testable statement.

<input type="text" aria-label="LabelText" title="TitleText" id="test" aria-describedby="descid"><div id="descid">DescriptionText</div>

Current results:

accName: "LabelText"
accDesc: "DescriptionText"

The title is lost. Is this the expected result?

Thanks,
Bryan
