Tracking UAAG implementations [from AllanJ] 17:27:02 zakim, next item 17:27:02 agendum 4. "Tracking UAAG implementations" taken up [from AllanJ] 17:28:58 implementations are in google docs 17:34:03 gl: do we want to create an issue to require the UA to allow the user to hide images 17:34:15 sh: who is it useful for 17:34:54 ... we had 3 reasons 17:35:14 ...1. RSI for navigating quickly 17:35:40 ...2. cognitive issues 17:36:19 ...3. screen magnification 17:36:37 gl: ADD content in complex images may be distracting 17:37:14 ...for RSI images may take up too much room, reduce images to make scrolling through lots of content easier 17:37:33 ...same for screen magnification 17:38:28 If a user agent hides an image but still reserves the same space it would take up, simply filling it with white space and alt text, then we don't get the benefits we were looking for for users with RSI (who sill have to scroll over lots of space) and magnifiers (the same). 17:39:05 Thus the ability to hide images *by itself* is not good enough, but we may have enough in combination with other existing SC about reflowing, etc. 17:39:45 kf: what would SC say? 17:40:45 Three related abilities: 1. show/hide images; 2. show/hide alt text for images (with or without the image); 3. yes or no to making alt text take up the room originally taken up by the image. 17:40:50 kf: which items to render by default 17:41:14 this would be 3.1.2 plus Jeanne's action 17:43:20 gl: where do we clarify that this is different from images being hidden (replaced by alt, or supplemented with alt/title) 17:45:29 kf: item 3 - should reflow the document to accommodate the alt. 17:46:28 kp: these are different situations. need the alt to take up the same amount of space as the image so the flow remains the same when collaborating 17:46:40 -Jeanne 17:47:25 kf: 3.1.2 user decides which alternative to be shown by default. 17:48:11 gl: it does allow the user to say what not to show. won't allow the UA to hide images 17:48:23 +Jeanne 17:48:40 ...could have a CSS to use generated text to place 'alt' text after or below the image 17:49:04 ...want the user to be able to hide images. 17:49:31 kf: also have 3.1.3 that gets at same area 17:49:48 gl: this is not global, it is a per image case 17:50:33 kf: 3.1.4 fall back if default not available. 17:50:48 ...what is end objective 17:51:40 kf:user gets to pick and choose what to render, what to render as alternative, mix and match multiple alternatives simultaneously 17:53:00 gl: rendering simultaneous primary and alternative content should be AAA 17:53:14 ...remove simultaneous, find better word 17:54:40 gl: show and hide primary content, show hide first tier alternative content, toggle reserve space of primary content for rendering of alternative content 17:55:13 gl: 3.1.3 and 3.1.4 would be independent. my proposal would replace 3.1.2 17:56:31 kf: UA allows user to hide or show default content 17:57:03 ...what default content? 17:58:01 ja: only content with alternatives - img, object, etc. 17:58:10 gl: is title an alternative 17:58:37 ...anything that is always there (src) don't need to notify user. 17:59:11 -sharper 18:03:39 There are five meaningful permutations: 18:03:41 a) Show image + hide alt = default, best for most people most of the time 18:03:43 b) Show image + show alt = rare 18:03:45 c) Hide image + hide alt = 18:03:47 d) Hide image + show alt + take up full space 18:03:49 e) Hide image + show alt + compress space = best for RSI and magnification 18:06:47 discussion of alt options 18:13:25 topic: 3.4.1 18:14:04 kf: this is exactly what a screen reader does. 18:14:21 gl: could be done with script, extension, or css 18:15:00 (Not CSS, as the CSS can't selectively do it only when needed.) 18:27:52 ja: problem with 3.4.1 and word 'required', 'alt' is the only required alternative. 18:28:51 Questioning what 3.4.1 gives us beyond what we already get from 3.4. 18:30:00 -Greg 18:30:04 rrsagent, make minutes 18:30:04 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2010/07/29-ua-minutes.html AllanJ 18:30:31 regrets -SimonH 18:30:44 -kford 18:30:45 -KimPatch 18:30:46 -AllanJ 18:31:09 zakim, please part 18:31:09 leaving.
