Re: aria-describedby in JAWS 14

Don, please do report this bug! Thanks!

I did more investigation into it and found that the real trigger of the bug is not putting the description text in something other than a <label>, as that initial page I linked to suggests, but rather it is not repeating the text of the label in its entirety at the start of the description text. Strange, eh? More info and demos here:

I'd love to hear from at least one other JAWS 14 user that this bug is still indeed in place, though...

Thanks,
Zoe
