https://www.w3.org/TR/using-aria/#practical-support-aria-label-aria-labelledby-and-aria-describedby and https://developer.paciellogroup.com/blog/2017/07/short-note-on-aria-label-aria-labelledby-and-aria-describedby/ are what was used as guidance in determining what the checker should warn about. Note, in the later document, this general comment: > If you use aria-label, aria-labelledby, or aria-describedby with any > other elements (like div, span, p, blockquote, or strong etc.), they > generally won’t work across all browser/assistive technology > combinations. Neither of those documents list the hr element as being one that aria-label should be used with. So I think the problem you would run into with using aria-label with hr in the way you’ve described is that you’ll end up finding out it’s not being announced as expected by current AT software. –Mike Joseph Polizzotto MA <jpolizzotto@berkeley.edu>, 2020-05-29 11:00 -0700: > Archived-At: <https://www.w3.org/mid/CAGQNLEUhv84_M0ABjs9amLFPCb8rn8pBqoJFe27oi+nY-j1rSQ@mail.gmail> > > In our work within disability services, we are trying to develop a method > in HTML which will help our students distinguish secondary text content > from primary text content. > > One thought we had was to use the horizontal rule between these two areas > and to announce to the screen reader user the beginning of "extra content". > This way the student can jump over that content if they wish. > > Would it be possible to use an aria-label inside a horizontal rule without > receiving a warning message with the Nu-HTML checker? > > I have attached a file. > > Thank you, > > Joseph -- Michael[tm] Smith https://people.w3.org/mikeReceived on Saturday, 30 May 2020 22:50:02 UTC
