One name is enough, it's all about how you script, I see no accessibility issues, and certainly don't see anything bad with your demonstration, In fact, I'm somewhat confused what you're asking, you don't mouseover the A element, you mouseover the IMG element, if you place the onfocus event in the IMG rather than the A (you'll need to add a tabindex in IE for this.) then you'll get tab and onmouseover to be the same element. This is not surprising. > It seems that if one wishes onmouseover and onfocus to point to the same > function, and one wishes to find out the name of the object which has focus, > (for a linked image) one needs a name in the 'a' tag for onfocus, and a > separate name in the 'img' tag for onmouseover. Not at all, you just use a more efficient script solution. > Should one name be enough (for those cases where duplication is not > desirable.) It already is, This is a scripting problem and not a standards/accessibility problem, IMG and A are different elements, events firing on those elements must be able to differentiate between the two.
