           Summary: Image alt text not used as accessible name for ARIA
                    listbox items
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: aboxhall at chromium.org


Original bug: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=89217

When using images as content for role="option" items inside a role="listbox" element, the image's alt text is not used as the option's (i.e. list item's) accessible name. 

To reproduce:

- Add the snippet below to an HTML document
- Use Inspect, AccExplorer, AccProbe or aViewer to inspect the exposed structure 
- Result: The listbox exposes nameless children, even though it should expose "Sun Flower" and "Rose" as accessible name.

<ul role="listbox">
    <li tabindex="0" role="option" aria-selected="true"><img alt="Sun Flower" src="1.jpg" /></li>
    <li tabindex="-1" role="option" aria-selected="false"><img alt="Rose" src="2.jpg" /></li>
</ul>
