582024 - aria spec: active-descendant should work with non-DOM descendants via aria-owns

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

[David Bolter [:davidb] (NeedInfo me for attention)]

"Authors SHOULD ensure that the element targeted by the activedescendant attribute is either a descendant of the container in the DOM, or is a logical descendant as indicated by the aria-owns attribute."

Not sure I like this. Might WONTFIX.

Looks good as well. Curious about the use of const for ancestor pointer?

the method is const, so *this* is also const, so you cannot assign it to Accessible*
