Bug 185498 – AX: accessibleNameForNode should simplify whitespace when using innerText

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Accessibility

[Joanmarie Diggs]

Given this test case:

  <input id="test" type="text" aria-labelledby="hidden" />
  <div style="display:none;">
    <div id="hidden">
      <table>
        <tr>
	  <td>cell 1</td>
          <td><div>cell 2</div></td>
	  <td>cell 3</td>
        </tr>
      </table>
    </div>
  </div>

The accessible name calculated for the element with id of "test" should be "cell 1 cell 2 cell 3" without new line characters or additional spaces. We're adding both because accessibleNameForNode falls back on innerText when there is no AccessibilityObject, and there is no AccessibilityObject because the element from which the name is to be calculated is not rendered.
