Description

The file rows convey two pieces of information in a visual way. The fact that each row can be deleted. And when We should devise a strategy to allow this information to be exposed semantically (ARIA roles? title attributes?) and implement it in the Uploader.

    One way to make this functionality discoverable for AT users would be to have a descriptor attached to the delete-enabled container, most likely through the "aria-describedby" attr.

    The example given is a close button for a fake popup window:

    <a role="button" aria-describedby="windowCloseDescription" href="#" onclick="myfakewindow.close()"> X </a>

    .. then hidden anywhere else on the page is the descriptor, identified by the ID in aria-describedby

    <div id="windowCloseDescription">Closing this window will discard any information entered and return you back to the main page</div>

    Just FYI. Right now the title for the row gets set to "File Uploaded" when the file is complete.

    It's all yours, Eli.

    Working in Firefox but not in IE 8 (win xp), where after a file has been uploaded it still says "Remove File" instead of "File Uploaded"
