Did you try the trick where you put text inside the dig and a large negative text indent to hide the text? Doesn't require aria.

Hi, this is both an IE and a JAWS bug.
IE should be naming the image using aria-labelledby, but the Object Inspector shows no name for the image object in the accessibility tree for the Div with role=img+aria-labelledby.
It does however do this if you use aria-label or include offscreen text within the container element.
Can you report this to IE under Accessibility?

Second, JAWS, even if you get the name to be correctly reflected in the accessibility tree within IE, will not correctly announce the presence of the image, as it will in Firefox, at least not in JAWS15 which is what I have installed.
Can you confirm this in JAWS16 plus IE11?
E.G
<div class="photo" role="img" aria-label="This is an image name"></div>
If it doesn’t work in 16 either, I’ll file a bug with FS if you don’t wish to do it first.
All the best,
Bryan

Hi,
As a quick update, this reminded me of an issue we went over earlier this year on the W3C-WAI list, the thread of which is available at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pfwg/2014Jun/0057.html
So the IE bug is already filed for this issue.
Please let me know if this still occurs in JAWS16 however, and I’ll be happy to file it with FS.
