Description Nan Wang 2016-04-29 17:50:24 PDT
In case:
<label for="txtBox1" aria-label="Enter date in format MM/DD/YY">Date:</label>
<input id="txtBox1" />

I would expect the value specified in the aria-label attribute to supersede the actual value of the label. I.e. I would expect VoiceOver to announce "Enter date in format MM/DD/YY". Instead the base value is announced ("Date").

this comment seems unnecessary, since its self evident from the code

const AtomicString& ariaLabel

> Source/WebCore/accessibility/AccessibilityRenderObject.cpp:1075
> +    // otherwise its inner text will be announced by screenreader.
