I'm developing web application for accessibility support and I came across a problem.

I've created field containing the following elements: Label1 associated with an disabled input field and button containing its own Label2. Then I tested it whether it will work in a such way:

when it moves to the button using the TAB NVDA should say

  1. Name of Label1
  2. Button
  3. Label2

In Firefox everything is running ok,
but in IE Label2 is lost.

I made a simple html page and attached it to the ticket.

I would like to ask whether it is an IE bug, NVDA error or just my mistake.

Thanks for response.

I don't understand. Can you please explain what you expect for your test case? Your test case doesn't have label 1 and label 2; it has label and button label. If I understand correctly, you're saying you expect the input label to be read for the button, but this doesn't make sense.

Ok, I have not explained what I want to use it.

User use the button to get to a library(just like in a drop box) and select option to fill the input with chosen value.

I've added a title (same as field label) to the button and set button label

name button

User is navigating on form with TAB button. He have to know both: actual field label (in Example it's 'Label1') and the button name ('Label2')

I expect that NVDA will read both : title atribute & button label. In FF it works correct, but in IE8 it doesn't.

P.S. I've changed labels

This is a fairly strange way to implement grouping of widgets. I'd probably recommend a fieldset or similar.

That said, I think I understand the issue now. Can you confirm that after tabbing to the button, pressing NVDA+tab reads the title as expected?

Technical: I guess we don't seem to add the title as the description attribute for MSHTML virtual buffer nodes.
