http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12794 --- Comment #2 from Silvia Pfeiffer <silviapfeiffer1@gmail.com> 2011-05-27 02:50:20 UTC --- (In reply to comment #1) > I think the suggested example doesn't work since the paragraphs are descendants > of <video> and thus not rendered (like display:none) and not present in the > accessible tree. Correct me if I'm wrong. Excellent, this is what I want to find out: can we make it work. IIUC the descendant paragraphs in <video> are in the DOM, but not rendered. Does that mean that the browsers mark them with display:none or @hidden and therefore they don't go through to the accessible tree, or are they marked differently? I'm asking because it would be a simple way to provide non-visible accessible text on the page, similar to what Jonas indicated may be possible to introduce for pointing aria-describedby to hidden elements. > Also, wouldn't the summary, transcript, and description be useful for all > users? If they are, the author can, of course, put them on the page and the aria-describedby would point to the visible paragraph. However, with aria-describedby it is always the challenge how to describe to a blind user what is on the page without having to expose that text also to the sighted users. Therefore I picked this more challenging example. -- 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.
