441241 - No accessibles created for list items and links in the "Kategorien" list of firefox.erweiterungen.de

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 439205

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

[Marco Zehe (:MarcoZ)]

On the above page, the list of 15 items under the "Kategorien" heading does not expose the links and list items correctly.

1. Load the page, then open DOM Inspector.
2. Switch to Accessible Tree.
3. Open the Document node, then down to the Section above the separator.
4. On the next level, choose the first section below the separator.
5. On the next level, the section below the heading.
6. On the next level, the table.
7. On the next level, the list.

I see the following hierarchy:

- List
-- Nothing (expected list item)
--- Nothing (Expected link)
---- Text

For some reason, the markup on this page prevents us from correctly creating the list item and link accessibles.

Still a problem in latest 3.2a1pre trunk builds.

Loading the same html locally (off file system) creates accessibles for these list items.

Still a problem in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2a2pre) Gecko/20090814 Minefield/3.6a2pre (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

I think it's dupe of bug 439205 because they use ul/li/a styled as a table by 'table', 'table-row' and 'table-cell' display styles.

However I'm not sure what David meant.
