Re: Labelling multi-answer questions

Thanks Glen. It was me who started that thread, and the discussion proved very useful indeed.

Our authoring tools don't conform to ATAG, and I'm not likely to be able to make that happen any time soon. But even with the best will in the world, it would require some complicated heuristics to guess at the labels for a multi-answer question.

In the last conversation, Tim suggested using "Fill in the blank" as a ARIA label, and so far that's been the easiest and most effective solution to implement. But it won't work for WCAG 2.1, so I'm trying to come up with a solution that will.

I'm getting there!

Thanks again.
