http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10455 --- Comment #36 from Edward O'Connor <hober0@gmail.com> 2010-08-30 21:35:35 --- (In reply to comment #10) I asked: > > I'm asking for a description of *how* describedby="" would work, hopefully > > one sufficiently detailed so we can evaluate the extent to which it differs > > from longdesc="". Shelley replied: > From my reading of what Laura provided, I would imagine describedby provides a > way[...] What is that way? Is the intent for authors to write markup like <img src="url-to-source" alt="replacement text" describedby="url-to-a-description">? If so, how is this different from longdesc=""? It looks like all we've done here is change the name of the attribute. I'm trying to presume that Laura doesn't intend describedby="" to work in this manner, but in some other way instead. > Is that good? Your answer focused on various browser and/or AT UI features that sound neat, but aren't really what I was asking. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
