Bug 155034 – AX: Implement missing/different accessibility API mappings for SVG

• Component: Accessibility
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Joanmarie Diggs]

The SVG Accessibility API Mappings spec [1] differs from the Core Accessibility API Mappings spec [2] in several areas, including:

* Inclusion in/Exclusion from the accessibility tree
* Sources and priority of text for the accessible name and accessible description mappings
* SVG-specific roles

As a result, quite a few of the tests to verify implementation [3] fail in WebKit.

can AccessibilitySVGElement just override determineAriaRoleAttribute?

do we need both of these methods? isAccessibilitySVGElement and isSVGElement

if (AccessibilityObject* target = targetForUseElement())
  return target->...

> Source/WebCore/accessibility/AccessibilitySVGElement.cpp:151
> +    String describedBy = ariaDescribedByAttribute();

this looks like it duplicates the accessibility description in helpText. I think that will end up double speaking many things

> Source/WebCore/accessibility/AccessibilitySVGElement.cpp:169
> +            return target->helpText();

this looks ok

> Source/WebCore/accessibility/AccessibilitySVGElement.cpp:245
> +            svgTextualElementParents.get().add(SVGNames::textTag);

since there's only one tag name, it seems like we can avoid the overhead of making a static hash

I'm still waiting for EWS to complete before asking for review again. In the meantime:

Yes. Done.

No we don't. Removed the latter.

Thanks. Done.

This one I need clarification on. I haven't changed the code (yet) in response to your observation. What I have done, however, is modified the output of the name and description tests so that they always output AXTitle, AXDescription, and (on the mac only) AXHelp. That way we can see if there are duplicate exposures which would be, I assume, the source of any double speaking.

I'm not seeing duplicates.

Done.

Thanks for the review!
