Description Graham87 2007-01-17 07:51:24 UTC
On my screen reader JAWS, I can press enter to 
get the long description of an image. This does 
not work on the URL above; I get taken to 
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wiki/Image:Foo.jpg 
instead.
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2007-01-17 08:30:29 UTC
The HTML looks correct.

<div style="position: relative;"><img
src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/Foo.jpg/200px-Foo.jpg"
alt="picture of a foo" width="200" height="131" longdesc="/wiki/Image:Foo.jpg"
usemap="#ImageMap_1" /><a href="/wiki/Image:Foo.jpg" title="About this image"
style="position:absolute; top: 111px; left: 0px;"><img alt="About this image"
src="/w/extensions/ImageMap/desc-20.png" style="border: none;" /></a></div>
Comment 2 Graham87 2007-01-17 11:16:22 UTC
On further testing, his appears to be a problem with JAWS, not with the 
ImageMap extension. I can't find the script in JAWS which deals with the 
longdesc attribute, but it seems to expect a full URL, not a relative 
directory. When I tried the example in my test copy of MediaWiki, where the 
only setting I have changed is to allow image uploads, I get the following 
URL: 
http://localhost:8080/testwiki/index.php/Testwiki/index.php/Image:Foo.jpg. 
However, the example at http://www.wats.ca/show.php?contentid=34 works with 
JAWS and JAWS does not do anything to the full URL provided.
Comment 3 Graham87 2007-01-23 00:09:26 UTC
I've jus tested this on JAWS 8, the latest version of JAWS and the long 
descriptions work fine there. It's a paid upgrade though. My previous test 
versions where the longdesc links did not work were JAWS 5.1 and 6.0, which 
could conceivably still be used by a lot of people.
Comment 4 Raimond Spekking 2007-04-17 09:51:52 UTC
As far as I understand it's not a problem with the imagemap extension? --> Close
this bug as WFM.
