Intent:

Stylesheets provide for powerful customization of rendered content. From time to time a user may need to make only slight modifications to the stylesheets used on a web site to satisfy certain accessibility needs. At other times a web author may have created a stylesheet that a user with a disability finds helpful. The intent of this success criteria is to allow users to easily save the...

scribe: CSS for a web site and make needed modifications without having to create full stylesheet of their own and to apply well designed stylesheets to other web pages where they find the stylesheets helpful.

<mhakkinen> question: where it says save the CSS, is that implying inline CSS also? Should it just be the extrernal style sheet?

<kford> I believe it is just the external.

<kford> That is external CSS.

<kford> This would only be external and not that inline or in the head.

Intent: Stylesheets provide for powerful customization of rendered content. From time to time a user may need to make only slight modifications to the author supplied external stylesheets used on a web site to satisfy certain accessibility needs. At other times a web author may have created a stylesheet that a user with a disability finds helpful. The intent of this success criteria is to...

kp: 2.2.1 and 2.3.1 should be cross referenced

<greg> Kelly suggests that we an close 717 because it's not necessarily to have sequential navigation between important elements, and not sure what else it refers to.

discussion of direct and sequential navigation.

on this page x, y, z and important element, can tab through sequentially through all elements, and to discover those elements that are important

gl: 257 structured navigation. seems to overlap with our discussion. limited to structural navigation.

kim will take over action-717 sequential navigation between important elements

jr: if jumping from header to header. are you moving sequentially or directly between headers

kf: direct would be jump to the 3 heading

jr: if I say save, I mean save this document not some other document.
... 231

kf: see examples. this is related to mouseless browsing. then can jump to specified objects

<Admin> The user can navigate directly to any important (structural and operable) element in rendered content.

gl: reviews definition of navigation.

jr: what is the purpose of structural in admin statement above
... links are not structure, they are operable.

should be "The user can navigate directly to any important (e.g. structural or operable) element in rendered content.

gl: structural elements would be table columns, headers, etc.
... is structural elements defined.

<Admin> The user can navigate directly to any important (e.g. structural or operable) element in rendered content.

jr: direct navigation is very direct

kf: why do we have 233

sequential nav is 221.

jr: should 221 have next element in a class

js: we have an SC to define important elements.

jr: that is AAA

kp: missing is moving sequentially through important elements.

gl: is this a disservice. one of the things people want is structural navigation. in H3 move but want to jump up to H2
... most commonly requested structural navigation are header and table navigation

js: asking a company to add a feature for generic element navigation, should be more specific (header and table) make it AA or A

<Admin> The user can move the keyboard focus backwards and forwards through subsets of enabled elements in the current viewport including headers and tables

gl: make generic important elements AAA and nav between headers and table row/column AA or A

kp: table elements, row, column, header (TH)

jr: direct can be very arbitrary, 3rd H3 from bottom of document

<scribe> continued discussion of navigation (direct, sequential)

gl: if in a menu, items with underlines are direct navigation element

alt-f is direct navigation to menus. top and bottom, etc. there are set points to jump to.

gl: jumping to different part of the heading tree (h3 to h1) is structural.

kp: users don't care what the navigation is called they just want to do it.

gl: that's why we have outline view or headings map. to add the sequential/structural navigation (imposed) to something that did not have an existing structure

<Admin> The user can move the keyboard focus among subsets of enabled elements in the current viewport including headers and tables

<greg> The new SC on structural navigation could be something like: The user can move the focus forward, backward, up and down a structural hierarchy (e.g. between headers or within a table).

<Jan> The user agent provides at least one type of structural navigation (e.g. by headers, table headers).?

<greg> The new SC on structural navigation could be something like: The user can move the focus forward, backward, up and down a structural hierarchy (including between headers or within a table).

<greg> he new SC on structural navigation could be something like: The user can move the focus forward, backward, up and down a structural hierarchy (e.g. between headers or within tables).

<Jan> The user agent provides at least the following types of structural navigation, where the structure types exist: (a) by header. (b) table headers?

kp: this should be AA

discussion of A vs. AA

<jeanne> +1 to AA

agree that should be AA

<Jan> +1 to AA

+1 to AA

js: put it in 2.2

kp: put this in sequential

js agrees

kp: add to 2.2.5

<Jan> +1 to having it in 2.2

gl: what about 2.5

kp: ah ha. should be 2.5

proposed: new sc in 2.5 The user agent provides at least the following types of structural navigation, where the structure types exist: (a) by header. (b) table headers

ja: just table headers, or are we talking within table navigation, like screen readers provide

The user agent provides at least the following types of structural navigation, where the structure types exist: (a) by header. (b) with tables

The user agent provides at least the following types of structural navigation, where the structure types exist: (a) by header. (b) within tables

resolved: The user agent provides at least the following types of structural navigation, where the structure types exist: (a) by header. (b) within tables

<kford> Proposal for 174 example:

<kford> Mikki browses to her favorite web site and finds the Arial 18 point type used for all headlines works well with her level of vision. She then discovers a new web site and finds it difficult to read. Returning to her favorite site a friend helps her discover that the headlines are created with a CSS stylesheet. The two save this stylesheet and study how it is created. Mikki is then able...

<kford> ...to quickly modify this stylesheet and use it on other web sites, such as the new site she's discovered and adjusts the text to her liking.

<Jan> Intent of Success Criterion 1.8.6:

<Jan> Some users want to be able to magnify content to make it more legible. Some users want to be able to shrink content so that more of the content is visible onscreen, which can help them understand the structure of the content and their position in the content, even if text has become too small to read.

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2012AprJun/0099.html

<Jan> Examples of Success Criterion 1.8.6:

<Jan> - A web application uses small text fonts, mixed with graphical elements. The user tries increasing the text size alone, but the graphical elements remain at their original sizes, causing the application to be displayed improperly. Instead, the user zooms in on the application, which makes the text more legible without breaking other aspects of the presentation.

<Jan> - A viewport is used to display an image depicting an organization chart. A user with a learning disability has difficulty maintaining a mental representation of the organizational linkages for items out of view. In order to facilitate their understanding of the organization, the user zooms out to allow the entire chart to be displayed.

gl: do we want to say anything about reflowing
... is there an implicit assumption that text reflowing
... just a question. should we say anything about reflow.

<greg> 2.1.7 Follow Keyboard Conventions (former 2.1.5): The user agent follows keyboard conventions for the operating environment.

<greg> Intent:

<greg> Keyboard users rely on the user agent to provide keyboard support that is both full-featured and consistent between applications. When user agents follow platform conventions for keyboard access it helps ensure that the functionality they rely on are not accidentally omitted. In addition, making these inputs consistent within and across programs greatly reduces learning curve, cognitive...

<greg> ...load, and errors. User agents are encouraged to add keyboard commands when such would provide additional features or benefit for users, but should avoid omitting the standard commands, or assigning them to different keys.

<greg> Examples:

<greg> Jack edits blog posts in his browser's text area control, and can use the same keys for navigation and editing (e.g. arrow keys, as well as commands to move to the beginning and end of the line or content, cut, copy and paste) and formatting that he's used to using in every other application on the platform.

<greg> Jack's user agent presents a custom tree control showing a hierarchal outline view of the document headings. He can navigate within that control using the same keys as work in the native tree controls used in other applications (e.g. the up, down, left and right arrow keys, as well as navigating directly to entries by typing the beginning of their text).

<greg> Jack puts his browser into a caret browsing mode, in which he can move the text cursor through the text on the page. The browser supports the same keys for navigation and editing (e.g. arrow keys, as well as commands to move to the beginning and end of the line or content, and for copying) as are used in other applications.

<jeanne> Jack's user agent's custom tree control shows a hierarchal outline view of the document headings. He can navigate within that control using the same keys as work in the native tree controls used in other applications (e.g. the up, down, left and right arrow keys, as well as navigating directly to entries by typing the beginning of their text).

<Admin> 2.5.6 Navigate by Structural Element

<Admin> The user agent provides at least the following types of structural navigation, where the structure types exist: (a) by header (b) within tables.

<Admin> Intent of Success Criterion 2.5.6

<Admin> Users who find it difficult or impossible to use the mouse require an efficient way to jump among elements without having to navigate through intervening content. Navigating by heading is especially important when scanning a webpage to find a pertinent section. Navigating by table element is especially important when building or reading tables.

<Admin> Examples of Success Criterion 2.5.5 :

<Admin> Jamie is blind. When he reads the New York Times he scans the headlines to find interesting story. In order to do this needs a way to go from headline to headline.

<Admin> Billie is a paraplegic who uses speech. She writes long legal documents. When she is proofing a document she needs to scan each section header. it takes far fewer speech commands to navigate the section headers when she can jump directly to them. Billie also makes extensive use of tables. It takes far fewer speech commands to navigate tables when she can jump directly among elements. Direct...

2.5.6 navigation

<Admin> ...navigation to headlines and table elements allows her to do her job without overusing her vocal cords and within required time constraints.

<Admin> Celia she finds it difficult to have short-term memory issues and is easily distracted. When looking for any particular section of the document she finds it easier to scan through headings by jumping from heading to heading rather than having to scan through an entire page of potentially distracting text.

gl: need different example for within table navigation

<greg> No, need an example of hierarchical navigation, as opposed to just sequential navigation among headings.

<jeanne> Celia has short-term memory issues and is easily distracted. When looking for any particular section of the document she finds it easier to scan through headings by jumping from heading to heading rather than having to scan through an entire page of potentially distracting text. Celia also finds it useful to be able to move from a subheading to a major heading to orient herself within the context without becoming confused.

js: to meet these guidelines. then they can test against this document

kp: in the future there may be some new setting that we don't know about that greatly affects accessibility. but that is a moving target. fine with current wording

live edit in master document.

gl: add note: UA encouraged to go beyond...

<jeanne> Some users have a disability that prevents them from setting up the user agent to their requirements when it is first installed or used. They require the ability to set accessibility requirements before entering the user agent. There are multiple ways this can be accomplished including: detecting and implementing the platform accessibility settings, providing an external file to modify, access to settings from a separate utility program, or providing accessibilit

<jeanne> 2.7.6 Change preference settings outside the user interface: The user can adjust any preference settings required to meet the User Agent Accessibility Guidelines (UAAG) 2.0 from outside the user agent user interface. (Level AA

Examples of Success Criterion 2.7.6 :

Sasha requires high contrast to be able to discriminate the shape of

letters. She has set the accessibility preferences on her mobile phone

to use the high contrast mode. When she launches her mobile browser for

the first time, it detects that she is using high contrast and presents

the opening page to her in high contrast mode.

Justin has low vision and an attention deficit disorder. He is setting

up his new e-book reader and is interrupted while setting the default

font colors. He accidentally sets his background and font color to

white on white and cannot read the settings screen to recover his

default settings. Justin exits the reader and follows the instructions

on the reader vendor web site to edit the "settings.ini" file to adjust

the colors outside the program, so he can use the reader the way he needs.

Aosa is blind and uses the accessibility settings on his mobile phone.

Because he has accidentally removed his settings in the past, he has now

set the hard button on his phone to restore his settings.

Bintu is deaf and enjoys watching captioned videos. Since different

video players may not have accessible settings, she sets her browser to

always display captions, and hopes that the video player does not

override the browser settings.

kf: first example, Sasha is good but not an example of this SC
... this SC is asking for a way for me to turn on caret browsing before I open the browser

jr: agree with kelly, asking for the ability for the user to change every setting related to UAAG seems like a big task

kf: responding to system settings is not a UA setting.

js: review other examples. if they are OK can remove the high contrast example.

2.4.1 again

Intent of Success Criterion 2.4.1 :

Local find in a user agent allows the user to easily locate desired information in rendered content. The ability to search for alternative text content allows screen reader users to find content they heard on their speaker. Users with hearing impairment use find as an efficient method of jumping to specific points in a video.

examples:

Marvin has a dexterity impairment. He needs to move efficiently to specific text in the document. The user agent provides a local search function that is available using speech commands. Marvin says "find," a text box with a search button appears. He spells the word he is looking for, and says "enter", which executes the search function.

Betty, who is low vision, is attempting to create a user stylesheet for site. She need to know the 'class' attribute value for navigation headers. Betty gets the source view of the current page and searches for the specific phrase used in a navigation list to find the class associated with the navigation list.

Joe, a user with a distraction disorder, is taking an online exam. He is working on the 6th question when he realizes he wrote something wrong in the essay on question 2. He uses the local search in the browser to find the text in error inside the textarea of question 2.

Sam, is a screen reader user. He has images off and the alternative content for images is revealed. He wants to send the flow chart image on the page to a collegue. Sam searches for the word "flowchart" that he heard spoken as part of the 'alt' text for the image. He then uses the context menu to select the address of the image and sends it to a colleague.

Agnes is deaf. She is watching a video with captions turned on. Agnes uses the search function to seach through the captions and jump to the point in the video where the search term is located in the time line.

Greta, has a reading impairment. She is trying efficient locate some information in a large detailed graphic. She is using a browser with native support for SVG. Greta searches for a term and the SVG is searched along with html content.

in IE 9 the text in the SVG that had text was highlighted.

<mhakkinen> ok

Greta, has a reading impairment. She is trying to efficiently locate some information in a large, detailed graphic. She is using a browser with native support for SVG. Greta searches for a term and the text within SVG is searched along with html content.

in FF the point of regard is moved to the text in the SVG but it is not highlighted in any way

we don't have any examples of SVG with alt text to see what happens with search.

we tested in FF and IE turned images off, but SVG remained on the screen

<mhakkinen> in chrome, the text is found but not highlighted

same as FF

<mhakkinen> probably Safari, then, too.

they would both fail the other SC relating to highlighting found search terms

discussion of the Summary of GL2

resolved: add above examples to the IER of 2.4.1

kf: 2.4.3 this needs some work

<mhakkinen> fyi... safari highlights and positions. cool effect.

awesome.

<mhakkinen> yes.

<Admin> 1.8.Y: Reflowing Zoom: The user can request that when reflowable content in a graphical viewport is rescaled, it is reflowed such that one dimension of the content fits within the height or width of the viewport. (Level AA) ## DONE 26 April - need IER

<Admin> Note: User agents are encouraged to allow user to override author instructions to not wrap content (e.g., nowrap).

<Admin> Intent for 1.8.1:

<Admin> It’s important that when content is reflowed it remains easily usable. Content is not easily usable if the user has to scroll back and forth to see a single line of text. This is an especially acute issue for users who find it difficult or impossible to use the mouse to scroll and for users who find it difficult to reorient when the content changes.

<Admin> Examples for 1.8.1:

<Admin> Frank has repetitive strain injuries and uses speech input. As he's gotten older he sometimes needs to increase the font size to comfortably read text on his computer screen. If the text does not flow properly, he finds himself overusing his voice to carry out multiple speech commands to carry out scrolling commands for every line of text, exacerbating his repetitive strain injuries by using...

<Admin> ...the mouse, or simply giving up.

<Admin> Maggie has cognitive issues that make it difficult for her to reorient when the computer screen changes. She occasionally zooms in to read small text. She finds it easier to reorient after zooming when at least one dimension of the content fits within the height or width of the viewport.

editorial review of 1.8.y

gl: by stating that the user can request in 1.8.y, are we implying that reflowing can be turned off
... review wording....is it saying, always, available, or ??? (neither require nor prohibit the reflowing of content

resolved:

<jeanne> Intent for 1.8.Y (1.8.13) It’s important that when content is reflowed it remains easily usable. Content is not easily usable if the user has to scroll back and forth to see a single line of text. This is an especially acute issue for users who find it difficult or impossible to use the mouse to scroll and for users who find it difficult to reorient when the content changes. This does not require or prohibit the user agent from providing an option to turn off r

2.7.6 change preference settings outside UAUI

<greg> Intent for 2.7.6: Users with a disability may find that they cannot use a user agent with its current preference settings. This can occur when they are initially setting up the product and its default settings don't meet their needs, or after they, or another product or user, change an option from the setting they need. In these cases they may not be able to user the user agent's own user...

<greg> ...interface to adjust the settings, and so need a way to adjust or reset those options from outside the user agent. There are multiple ways this can be accomplished including: detecting and implementing the platform accessibility settings, providing an external file to modify, access to settings from a separate utility program, providing accessibility options in the installation program, or...

<greg> ...providing command-line switches to change the user agent's behavior.

<greg> Aosa is blind, and her web browser is incompatible with her screen reader unless she changes one of the browser's advanced settings. Because she cannot activate and use the appropriate dialog box until the setting is changed, she needs to start the browser using a dedicated command-line switch that changes the behavior.

<greg> Bintu is deaf and enjoys watching captioned videos. Since different video players may not have accessible settings, she sets her browser to always display captions, and hopes that the video player does not override the browser settings. In this way the options in one user agent (the embedded video player) are set outside its user interface by being set in another program (the hosting browser).

<greg> Sasha requires high contrast to be able to discriminate the shape of letters. She has set the accessibility preferences on her mobile phone to use the high contrast mode. When she launches her mobile browser, it detects that she is using high contrast and adjusts the font and color settings for its user interface to reflect those settings.

<greg> Justin has an attention deficit disorder. He is setting up his new e-book reader and is interrupted while setting the default font colors, then finds he accidentally sets his background and font color to white on white. He cannot read the settings screen to recover his default settings, so he exits the reader and follows the instructions on the vendor's web site to edit the "settings.ini"...

<greg> ...file to adjust the colors. He then restarts the reader with the corrected color settings.

gl: intent does not match the sc wording

all the preferences that apply to the compatible system will be transferred.

<greg> "The user can transfer preference settings" is vague enough that a UA could comply by transferring only two settings.

<greg> We could make it (a) all preference settings that are compatible with the target system, or (b) all accessibility preference settings that are compatible with the target system ("accessibility settings" being defined as those required to comply with this document.

<greg> Someone argued that since it's AAA we might as well make it broad.

<greg> Kelly points out support difficulties.

kf: IE manage addons, if I turn off yahoo toolbar, transfer settings. then 3 months later the user installs the toolbar it will be turned off after installation.
... this will cause users issues
... this is architected this way.
... is this is some setting or all settings

gl: suggested that it is AAA and go with all settings

<greg> "The user can transfer all compatible preference settings between computers. (Level AAA)"?

kp: in perfect world when the user install the toolbar, it should be flagged and tell the user...you have this feature disabled, do you want to turn it on

<greg> Kelly says should be UA settings.

<greg> ""The user can transfer all compatible user agent preference settings between computers. (Level AAA)"

resolved: change wording of 2.7.7 to be the above.

Intent: Configuring a user agent is a complex...

<jeanne> Configuring a user agent may be a complex and time consuming task. Some users hire assistive technology professional trainers to do their system setup. Users who have spent time customizing accessibility preferences to meet their requirements need to easily migrate preference setting to another compatible device. Schools and universities also need to maintain accessibility settings across multiple machines.

<jeanne> Lori is a rehabilitation specialist who works with clients to customize their electronics and assistive technology to their needs. She sets up a new system for Ray, and saves a backup of the accessibility setting for Ray and for herself. She keeps electronic backup of her clients configurations that she can quickly email to them if they lose their settings.

<jeanne> Ray is blind and uses a screenreader on his desktop and the voice application on his phone. He sets up the web-based email application accessibility preferences on a mobile device. These preferences are automatically reflected in the desktop version of that web-based email application.

<jeanne> Trisha is a 4th grader with low vision. When she goes to different classrooms in her school, she carries a USB stick with her accessibility settings so she and her teachers do not have to use class-time customizing her computer.
