object using aria-labelledby as text alternative incorrectly flagged as error #159
Comments
Not sure how accurate/current the data is but it looks like many screen readers do not support aria-labelledby attribute on many elements: http://www.powermapper.com/tests/screen-readers/aria/. Notably the object element is missing from all the ones tested. |
I've since found that, though, technically, using aria-labelledby for alternative text for objects is okay, the support for this is inconsistent, especially in Windows-Eyes and NVDA with Firefox, so the case for changing this one is diminished, as you note. Sorry. |
Correction again: When I used a real URL for the data source and set the width and height, NVDA worked fine, so I guess the issue comes down to whether you think Window-Eyes has enough market share to warrant inclusion. For me, Window-Eyes crashes constantly, so I find it hard to believe it is used as much as the WebAim survey suggests, but I guess it is the best we've got. |
