From 01d01275b72d94d27573ca06c9bdd650c90d071f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott O'Hara Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2025 13:46:22 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Change tooltip to name prohibited this PR attempts to close #2668 As mentioned in the referenced issue, authors naming a tooltip either doesn't consistently work with current AT, or it can introduce unintended author errors where if a tooltip is named - and associated with an element via `aria-describedby`, only the name is exposed and not the longer description that a user can see. The reason this changed to name prohibited, is because by removing the 'name from author', only 'name from contents' remained.... and there is no other role in the ARIA spec that allows name from content by itself. All other similar roles are identified as name prohibited. So, while this PR initially only changes the "name from" section from listing "author and contents" to "prohibited" - i assume a note will need to be added to further describe this change and the rational behind it. it might be worth also resolving https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/2507 in this PR. but before I do that, I will wait for discussion on this initial PR. --- index.html | 7 +------ 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/index.html b/index.html index e23b7255b..f36889d8b 100644 --- a/index.html +++ b/index.html @@ -11321,12 +11321,7 @@
