http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12590 --- Comment #16 from Leif Halvard Silli <xn--mlform-iua@xn--mlform-iua.no> 2011-05-11 13:09:12 UTC --- (In reply to comment #3) > <img src="x" role="presentation" title="poot"> Please partly ignore my reply in comment #4. I was responding to what I think you said rather than what is actually said. In this case, I did not realize that you placed 'role=presentation' inside the image ... Correct response: I don't understand how that example is relevant to the issue. Of course the AT should ignore @title - and anything else - inside the IMG if the IMG has role=presentation, there is no doubt about that (provided we accept what ARIA 1.0 specifies.) The issue dealt with in this bug is whether @title should be ignored when the alt="" is empty. If AT treats empty alt="" as a synonym for role="presentation" - as you suggest and as the HTML5 spec suggests, then we force AT to ignore the @title in cases such as this one, where looking at the @title could have helped creating a useful link text: <a href=l ><img src=foo alt="" title="Lorem ipsum" /></a> (In reply to comment #14) > It is not dispated that the mapping of role=presentation to alt="" has NOT been > implemented in any browser yet, but it has been defined in HTML5. > > so your results for JAWS are wholely expected. I read your comment about JAWS as something you presented in support of the HTML5 specification's claim that empty alt="" should be seens as synonymous with role="presentation". Given that you interpreted this bug as filed against the HTML A11Y API Guidelines, it all became wrong. Let it be clear: this bug is about the isssue that it is a bug of HTML5 to treat empty @alt="" as a synonym for role="presentation". It is a bug because it is not in line with WAI-ARIA 1.0's alternative text computation rules: http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/complete#textalternativecomputation Also, if you disagree with WAI-ARIA 1.0, wanting it to treat empty alt="" as equal to role="presentation", then you should file a bug against WAI-ARIA 1.0. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
