Your point is taken, but I disagree, there is no terrible UI when content is accessible. If aria-describedby points to visible text, how does a sighted user or a magnifier user track focus to the visible description. It will depend on how aria-describedby is implemented here, like any other technique. > I don't get how @longdesc would help here given the target of @longdesc would > be outside the table too. Well, using longddesc, the keyboard focus will land on the link that was selected once the target dialog is closed, thus preserving focus. Technically, I do not see any issue there, unless implementers have UI issues. -- Configure bugmail: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
