771141 - Special case: input type=image with a title

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

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

From W3C the testable statement is:

"An INPUT type=text, password, checkbox, radio, file, or image , with id="test", with no aria-labelledby and no aria-label, does not have a role=presentation, is not referenced by a LABEL element, and has a title."

We likely use "Submit Query" as that shows up in visually in FF...

it's not related with ARIA, marking as blocking namea11y.

input image is exposed as PUSHBUTTON role and name from subtree is applicable to this role. It seems we need to introduce a new role like IMAGEBUTTON.

steps to fix:
1) you need to add it to Role.h
2) fix RoleMap.h
3) fix HTMLButtonAccessible::NativeRole()

Sorry it seems the bug fix is not obvious as I thought before.

Steve, when we should pick up the 'Submit Query' label of the image button? Btw, I'm curious why
<button title="Aha">Submit Query</button> and
<input type="image" title="Aha">
should have different accessible names ("Submit Query" vs "Aha").
