Component
  1. Image Reorderer

Description

In the ARIA spec, when a <div> is marked with @role="img", the advice is to use the "aria-labelledby" property to provide alternative text. The value of "aria-labelledby" is an IDREF of another element that contains the label. For the image reorderer, that would be the link element whose text is used as the title of the thumbnail.

See the second bullet point and first markup example under the "presentation" role of the ARIA spec (currently, last call draft):
