I have a question related to '2.5.3: Label in Name'. In the example(Please look into the screenshot)
The accessible name is given as: Mute All
Visible label is: Mute All People can unmute themselves
Here the 'People can unmute themselves' text is not a part of an accessible name.
I think it's fine since 'Mute All' text is more relevant here and by saying this text, speech input user can activate the control.
So my question is:
Can we consider it as a pass
or
It is still a failure of the Label in name checkpoint since 'People can unmute themselves' is not a part of accessible name(aria-label)
As per WCAG:
In order for the label text and accessible name to be matched, it is first necessary to determine which text on the screen should be considered a label for any given control. There are often multiple text strings in a user interface that may be relevant to a control. However, there are reasons why it is best to conservatively interpret the label as being only the text in close proximity. https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/label-in-name.html
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
Agree, the apparent label here is just "Mute all" (reasonably, a voice user would likely not try to activate that button by reading out all the lengthy text there either).
I would be concerned though that the additional description there is not exposed in any other way to screen reader users, as it's overridden by the short aria-label? that'd be something to consider under 1.3.1 Info and Relationships or similar...
