value of [role="textbox"]

[eps1lon]

I couldn't find any document that defines how the value for those elements is computed. Most examples also specify contenteditable (is this required?). I'm currently assuming that the value of *[role="textbox"] is its textContent.

See #3

Should we be checking the label of the textbox in this case? For example, assistive technology would read the label of the textbox example in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input as "Name (4 to 8 characters):"

Isn't this computing the name? This topic is about the value of the textbox e.g. how would you write a <div role="textbox" /> as <input value="??" />.

Ah I misunderstood - thanks for the clarification.
