Description (last modified by becky) (diff)
In FF3 it's now possible to expose the text equivalent for the current value using the optional aria-valuetext attribute. The numeric aria-valuenow attribute is still always required even if aria-valuetext is used.
For example: <div role="slider" aria-valuemin="1" aria-valuemax="3" aria-valuenow="2" aria-valuetext="medium"> If aria-valuenow changes to 1 or 3 then aria-valuetext should be changed as well.
If the value point is just a number anyway, then aria-valuetext is not necessary. and the attribute need not be present. Mozilla will fall back and using aria-valuenow for text of the value if no aria-valuetext attribute is present.
Need to investigate if this can be added or not.
