    [monastic.panic] question: in the case of a widget like a combobox, should aria-activedescendent go on the common DOM parent (wrapper div) or the text input, that actually holds focus
  2. [monastic.panic] guess its more a general question about any aria like that

    @monastic.panic whatever has the role=combobox in this case as it is a composite widget. However this should pretty much always be the same thing as the thing with focus.

    [monastic.panic] ok that was what I thought. And in the case of like a combobox, you’d put the role on the input, not the surrounding div?
  5. [monastic.panic] voiceover seems to be flaker with aria-owns

    Can't remember if we have some new combo examples in the latest draft of APG. We are certainly working on them. On vacation at the moment so can't look it up. Perhaps someone else can.

    Good. Went on a canal tour with our Airbnb host this afternoon. He got very sick of the pedal boats getting in the way.

    Hey, I actually found a website with a background animation that might actually deserve audio descript/alt text
