I'm curious why a , that is set invisible to screenreaders using aria-hidden="true" is still read aloud when its associated input field is focused in forms mode?

* Name

In browse mode, the asterisk "*" is ignored by NVDA. In focus mode, its read aloud.

Live example here (focus the "Name" input): http://base.sirius.uberspace.de/en/user/sign_up

Is this expected behaviour? In my opinion, hidden elements shouldn't be read aloud when in focus mode, too.

The name reported in focus mode is retrieved directly from the browser. Both IE and Firefox currently ignore aria-hidden when calculating names.

For Firefox, see MozillaBug:1123360.

For IE, we'll probably have to hack around this, just to add to the ridiculous number of hacks we have for IE already...
