538944 - If there is useful information in accDescription of child img accessible, propagate it to parent link accessible

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

[Marco Zehe (:MarcoZ)]

Testcase is linked above. The profile pictures under "Followers" and "Following" have more useful information in the @title of the image which doesn't ge propagated to the link accessible, which is the one which actually has focus. As a result, NVDA doesn't see this useful information.

Code snippet:
<a href="bla"><img src="bleh" alt)"not so useful" title="very useful"/></a>

Suggestion: For the accDescription of the link accessible, we look at attributes etc. such as title of the html:a element.
The accName, on the other hand, is aggregated from the child accessibles.
Suggestion: If the acc description of the link accessible is empty, but its name si aggregated from children, see if the acc description can also be aggregated from the children's accDescriptions.
