Thanks! That's also how VoiceOver behaves. >> Is the focus-ability overriding >> the role attribute even without the user explicitly giving it focus? >> (That is: would it be read when the AT was parsing/presenting the text?) > > No, that's just a bug. Sorry, I described VoiceOver's behaviour very incompletely - which in turns makes me uncertain about what your answer means. ;-) For the record: VoiceOver doesn't read the content of a focusable IMG element with role=presentation, regardless of whether it has explicit focus or not, - this is a clearly, as you say, "just a bug". But is the bug only that the IMG isn't presented even when it has explicit focus? Or is it also part of the bug that - when reading the following sentence as a sentence - the IMG is ignored: <p>I <img src=heart alt=love tabindex=0 role=presentation > you.</p> ? -- Leif H Silli
