  1. save as HTML file:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

	</head>
	<body>

			<input aria-label=2>
		</fieldset>
		<fieldset title=title>

	</body>
</html>
  1. Use quick navigation (E)
  2. Use element overview (INS+Ctrl+E)
  3. Navigate with Tab keygen
  4. read with arrow keys

Expected result

Output according to https://w3c.github.io/html-aam/#fieldset-and-legend-elements

  • aria-label and aria-labelledby should be output instead of legend (Example 1 and 2)
  • title should be output if there is no legend (Example 3)

Actual result

We've also run into this issue with Jaws 2018 and IE11 (test page).

  • Shift + H announces "There are no headings on this page"
  • Ins + F6 announces "No headings found"

Jaws 17 and 18 announce the headings correctly.

The following results were are from testing in Windows 10 using Codepen - Issue 315 Test code which is based on the HTML sample originally provided:

  • In Firefox 76.0.1 (64-bit), the fieldset labels are correctly announced and listed in the "Select a Form Field" window.
  • In Chrome 81.0.4044.138 (Official Build) (64-bit), the fieldset labels are correctly announced, but the "Select a Form Field" window incorrectly provides the visible legend text in the examples using aria-label and aria-labelledby instead of the ARIA values.
  • In IE11 11.778.18362.0, the fieldset label provided by the title attribute is not announced or displayed in the "Select a Form Field" window. Additionally, the visible legend text is provided in the window as exhibited in Chrome.
