WCAG-ISSUE-31 (G13-WCAG2-Techniques): Advisory text indicating change of context needs to be visible for SC 3.2.2 [HTML & ARIA Techniques TF] http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/track/issues/31 Raised by: Sailesh Panchang On product: HTML & ARIA Techniques TF SC 3.2.2 serves users other than VI users too. I have often faced lots of resistance when I suggest that instructional / label text preceding a SELECT / other form control that triggers context change should indicate the context-change behavior visually to benefit all users ... not just screen-reader users. Just off-screen text or a suffix to a title attribute will only help VI-AT users. This view will be supported if G13 explicitly recommends this. I suggest: After the sentence ending with , "makes the user aware of the behavior in advance.", add: Visible instructional text will help a wider group of users that includes all served by this SC". Add a line to the texts / modify the test to say that the "instructional text is visible". Thanks for the support, Sailesh
