Hi, Due to no (in my very limited experience) screen reader support for ARIA-LABEL on the G element (inside the SVG element), I am considering concatenating all label info from G elements into one "sentence" for the content of the ARIA-LABEL on the SVG element. It seems an ARIA-LABEL on the SVG element IS read out. Background There are lots of articles on accessibly naming SVGs. I don't think I've seen one that explicitly uses ARIA-LABEL with the G element, or says not to, but I see that it is a valid attribute https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Element/g#aria_attributes A JavaScript library my client is using to help the automated build of SVGs from data, is producing SVGs with G elements, each G element with an ARIA-LABEL, yet my AT (NVDA+Chrome+Win10) plus one or two I've read about, are not reading those ARIA-LABELs. Changing nothing except hand-editing so an ARIA-LABEL is on the SVG element results in that ARIA-LABEL being read out. Does anyone know about this? (I hope this is sufficiently a11y focused to be allowed here). Thanks in advance Regards, Alan . . . . - . . - - - Alan Bristow ( he / him / il ) Web Developer / Développeur Web Elections Canada / Élections Canada alan.bristow@elections.ca
