Re: A presentational img?

hi james,

so currently this

<img src="contact.png" role="presentation"  title="contact">

results in this:

firefox/IE - MSAA  img not in acc tree no acc name exposed

safari - AX img not in acc tree no acc name exposed.


should this be considered a bug?


regards
steve
