Sure. I have a check box. When clicked it shows an image. The image has text under it that is also in an aria-describedby. The text contains a link. When the check box receives focus the screen reader does not tell me the text has a link in it. It reads the whole caption as plain text which is what it should do. My question is what wcag 2.0 standard would be violated if a user is not told a link is present?

Angela,
Your question does not make sense. Can you be more specific and give a code example?

Hi,
If a link is in an aria-describedby what wcag 2.0 guide line would be violated? I’m thinking it would violate 4.1.2
Name, Role, Value Level A but I want to be sure.
Thank you,
