aria-describedby
to add description to a text input field (plus tabindex=-1 on element referenced)Detlev Fischer, (detlev [dot] fischer [ at ] testkreis [dot] de)
Last update: 19 November 2012
This is a variant of an example that uses the aria-describedby
attribute on an input element to reference the descriptive paragraph ("Please provide...") qualifying the input needed. The only difference is that tabindex="-1"
has been added to the descriptive paragraph. (Return to example without tabindex
).
