See: http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-wai-aria-1.1-20130926/states_and_properties#aria-describedat (see the code example included with the above - is this what you are envisioning?) While I agree that HTML5 *should* have a native equivalent, I'm not sure at this time whether one will come forward. HTH -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
