Consider the following code:
The aria-labelledby works fine. The aria-describedby does not? Using FF
4.01 and JAWS 11.
Any suggestions?
<span id="my_desc">Aria Labelled By</span><button
aria-labelledby="my_desc">submit</button>
<span id="my_desc">Aria Described By</span><button
aria-describedby="my_desc">submit</button>

Interesting, tried it out with FF4 and JAWS12 and they both work. Tried it in Chrome on XP and only aria-labelledby works. I've done research on iOS ARIA support and found that aria-labelled by works with iOS but not aria-described by.
Of course it was useless in IE7.
