00:11:58 RRSAgent has joined #ua 00:12:03 rrsagent, make log world 00:12:49 aaronlev: To make tabs focusable, you have to make them anchors. 00:15:02 jg: Concerned that people would have a false sense of accessibility if you just add keyboard equivalents. 00:15:37 aaronlev: We're saying things like menus and tab panels are basic widgets, and the only way to make them is with divs and spans. Seems totally reasonable to allow them to make them accessible. 00:16:13 claws: What other aspects are you considering? 00:16:46 aaronlev: For low vision, there are a number of things in the browser. High contrast, zoom. 00:19:16 jg: My experience with DHTML is that it doesn't enforce background color. 00:19:22 aaronlev: Can you send me a sample? 00:19:33 aaronlev: We want to make DHTML accessible. It's the reality today. 00:21:43 http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/roadmap/ 00:21:48 http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/html-state/ 00:22:00 http://www.mozilla.org/projects/ui/accessibility/dynamic-accessibility.html 00:22:57 aaronlev: Roadmap document contains what is in XHTML 1.0/1.1, and what should go into 2.0, for example. 00:23:15 aaronlev: Need a way to explain the purpose of a custom widget. 00:24:13 http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/properties/tabindex.asp 00:24:52 aaronlev: We've spoken about this with Opera, they don't think it's a bad idea. 00:25:05 aaronlev: Opera is working on Web forms. 00:25:43 jg: Tabindex="-x" allows controls to be taken out? 00:25:46 aaronlev: Yes. 00:27:10 jg: Do you have examples of these for the test suite? 00:27:35 http://www.moonset.net/aaronwork/tests/dhtml/checkbox-via-tabindex.html 00:28:21 aaronlev: This won't work in IE, since it doesn't support :before and :after. 00:28:59 aaronlev: The checkbox won't be displayed. (The control will work.) 00:29:29 Here's the bug for tabindex: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171366 00:31:58 aaronlev: When ordering a flight, for example, would be good to have a custom widget. 00:32:10 a drop down calendar picker 00:32:31 http://www.moonset.net/aaronwork/wetodo.html 00:32:50 aaronlev: Looking for people to test Mozilla with Window-Eyes. 00:35:08 aaronlev: Mozilla and others are working on plugin issues like inability to tab out, allow Ctrl-L, etc. to pass through to the browser, etc. 00:36:12 jg: Update from Beijing? 00:37:11 louie: Focusing on Mozilla community to enhance accessibility.

Static text, since it isn't focusable, can't set the focus. 00:44:16 aaronlev: Every screen reader needs to have some way to read non-focusable things. There's lots of static text everywhere. 00:44:22 zakim, ??p3 is jessie 00:44:22 +jessie; got it 00:44:30 yes 00:44:34 jessie, to unmute yourself, you can type "zakim, unmute me" 00:44:40 ok 00:45:05 zakim,unmute me 00:45:05 jessie should no longer be muted 00:45:11 jg: Is it possible to read static text in Gnome accessibility API? 00:45:14 jessie: Not sure. 00:45:21 jg: May need to talk to Peter about this. 00:45:33 susan: Doesn't Gnome have an MSAA-like API? 00:45:49 aaronlev: Screen reader is exposing one thing to Windows and another to Linux. 00:46:01 aaronlev: Not sure how things work under ATK. 00:46:05 zakim, mute jessie 00:46:05 jessie should now be muted 00:46:53 claws: Is there a spec to look at? 00:47:05 aaronlev: at_poke? 00:47:19 zakim, unmute me 00:47:19 jessie should no longer be muted 00:47:20 aaronlev: Jessie, are things exposed as static text like they are in other programs? 00:48:23 louie: Sometimes screen readers like Gnopernicus can read info out to users because it has some checking functionality.
