yes. 14:13:41 if interpretation correct, not have anything for level 3 criterion since html doesn't create multimedia? 14:13:48 what does that mean for the checklist? 14:14:03 action: Michael approach larger group on interpretation of 1.1.3.1 and request clarified wording if our interpretation is correct 14:14:07 in some cases we have "or" relationships between techniques, in other cases have "and" relationships 14:16:57 is following one technique sufficient for meeting a given criterion? 14:17:04 depends on the context. sometimes need to follow 2. 14:17:41 html techs address if an img has alt, general techniques will say more about making alt text "good" 14:18:59 michael - i think we should move on. try to get through each of these and look for patterns of issues, things to take to WCAG WG. 14:19:05 q+ 14:19:20 yeah 14:19:32 q- 14:20:19 agenda+ lisa's question about length of text equivalents 14:20:58 1.2 - webcams - think the html technique is a link to another site. 14:22:19 1.3 14:22:20 color 14:22:46 color ratios - general techniques 14:23:00 html: if define foreground, also define background 14:23:13 define in css 14:23:24 how not to use the font element? 14:24:17 a place where good to include css techniques in html techniques 14:24:35 guidelines say structure well, but don't say 'style well' 14:24:42 'style available independently of structure' 14:24:56 isn't that this guideline? yes, but no success criterion. 14:26:36 is "what not to do" fully testable? primary point (of what not to do) is educational. 14:26:39 wendy can we have that as an item to pass on or propose as a SC? 14:26:56 yes, last time michael took an action item...maybe we can put him on the hook again. ;) 14:27:00 heh 14:27:25 human testers could reliably agree when something is meant as a heading or not. 14:27:30 -Lisa_Seeman 14:27:57 question about foreground: how are we using the term? 14:28:18 is it about importance or style? 14:28:26 text - foreground, anything else as background. 14:28:58 action: Michael propose SC for separation of structure and presentation 14:29:55 high contrast mode (color), most of those techniques show up under CSS. 14:30:05 generatl technique: colors have adequate contrast 14:30:18 possible general: author-defined colors can replaced by user-defined 14:30:25 html: use css to make it possible 14:30:39 avoid html techs that say "use css" but may need to go that route 14:31:02 q+ 14:31:33 ack Tom 14:31:39 ask group to clarify foreground/background 14:31:43 action: Michael ask WG for definition of foreground and background 14:31:57 css wg combining backgrounds and borders since people want to have rounded borders 14:32:01 (using images) 14:32:08 1.4 14:32:53 Do we want a technique that says use HTML plus CSS instead of images? 14:34:08 can turn css off. can't do that with an image. w/css can resize the text or change colors. 14:34:38 action: Michael propose technique to recommend using HTML + CSS instead of text in images (contrast, text equivalents, resizing) 14:35:29 We need a technique about the "background" attribute. 14:35:49 action: Michael propose technique to strongly recommend against using "background" attribute to put in a background image 14:36:22 related to issue about success criteiron that separates style and structure? 14:37:48 "here are the things you would rather you do in css rather than html (background images, color, ...) 14:37:53 a single technique? 14:38:20 action: Michael propose techniques for all the things in HTML we'd prefer to see in CSS 14:39:19 way to tie in other documents? e.g., how to choose which techs are needed for 1.1. general define parts of that. how do we use techs in css to define which html techs we're going to require. 14:39:35 use general to determine what is "required" in each tech. 14:39:43 general discussion about how things tie together. 14:40:27 agenda+ to say "how documents tie together" 14:40:40 1.5 - none 14:40:48 2.1 14:41:17 image map: partly keyboard access, partly basic access 14:41:28 appear more than one place? 14:42:23 primary and secondary relationships. 14:42:57 i.e., appears in one place, but then say "by meeting, you also satisfy 1.1" 14:43:59 use client-side b/c operable by keyboard. 14:45:14 alt for area - 3.2 (target of each link is clearly identified) 14:45:17 rather than 1.1 14:45:35 image maps are not non-text elements...clickable areas are links (rather than non-text elements) 14:47:05 but, ends up on level 3 - not good. 14:47:17 requiring redundant links? should we deprecate? 14:47:52 action: MIchael propose mark text links for CSIM as deprecated (need to double check with users) 14:48:57 action: Michael map image map stuff to multiple SC (text equivalents, functionality available, keyboard access, clear link text) 14:49:23 "functionality of the content" what about javascript?
