Yet, the preceding note warns about users confusing > placeholder text with a pre-filled value. Right. And with the "I am not an author" disclaimer.... What would an author do to make a searchbox without any user-entered value in it and expose the placeholder text to assistive technologies? Maybe we need two examples? For instance we could take yours: > <span id="label">Birthday:</span> > <div role="searchbox" aria-labelledby="label" > aria-placeholder="MM-DD-YYYY">03-14-1879</div> and clearly label it as the "after" (i.e. after the user has provided a value). But wouldn't the before be done like: <span id="label">Birthday:</span> <div role="searchbox" aria-labelledby="label" aria-placeholder="MM-DD-YYYY">MM-DD-YYYY</div> ? --joanie
