<richardschwerdtfe> meeting: W3C HTML Canvas Accessibility Subteam

<richardschwerdtfe> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-canvas-api/2011JanMar/0035.html

Catching Up

RS: waiting for FrankO and DavidB
... in IE9 implementation of FocusRing include any other parameters other than element?

CP: pretty sure use current existing implementation instead of a new one -- doesn't help magnifiers much, i think
... at least have shadow DOM in IE9 even though magnification stuck at the moment
... received email from dominique and davidB
... interesting post by TV Raman
... interested in work -- more focused on audio interfaces

latest draft HTML_Canvas_Element.html: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-canvas-api/2011JanMar/att-0035/HTML_Canvas_Element.html

<Downchuck> I pushed a new draft, didn't make it onto one of the lists; editing setCaretSelectionRect to remove "text" references

excellent!

<Downchuck> They were intended as author instructions; not implementer guidelines. They were controversial and necessary.

<Downchuck> Sometimes I join via iPhone, and it's helpful to have the agenda about 10 minutes before the meeting, to get the phone number.

RS: pinged Frank directly but only got voice mail
... don't know hiow much we can get done without quorum

ARIA Valid in Canvas Subtree

RS: didn't see any objections

CP: me neither

RS: caret tracking -- contacted zoomtext people and pointed them to CP's page -- asked if can track caret in IE9 (use DirectDraw without caret tracking) -- can they track or not?

<Downchuck> Hi David

CP: using graphics buffer

RS: right
... don't know if access graphics buffer or if cache

<davidb> hi Downchuck

CP: thought reading from graphics buffer to monitor changes

RS: David telloing me can't be useful until mid-February

CP: consensus on drawFocusRing and shasow CANVAS DOM
... caret slection -- 2 windows calls
... on implementations that support shadow DOM really minimal work in coding
... WebKit has serious work to do if not supporting shadow DOM -- believe FF working on it, too
... work now is to get acceptance for validity of method

RS: tweaks to drawFocusRing?
... or caret tracking?

CP: change textSelection to just "selection" -- ARIA simimlar -- works without pushing text editing -- items about text for author to figure out and document
... rectangle should be passed over to a11y API and then done
... creating group consensus on selectRectangle -- if can reach agreement on methodName can break through this impasse

Positioning Information

RS: virtual mapping or buffer for positioning in markup?

CP: exploring that -- initially focused on DrawFocus rectangle
... this is the x,y you shold be focused on is insufficient -- need scale -- wide or narrow -- when used in conjunction with drawFocusRing, magnifiers can do a LOT more
... beyond that, exploring scrolling
... magnifier scrolls across screen, but certain UI elements have content -- addressed in input type="text" element -- can seet ScrollLeftValue and show and scroll that text programmatically
... AISquared brought up issues with clipping and scrolling text
... not currently using ScrollLeft, ScrollTop, etc.
... raised displays on magnifier is current focus of brainstorming once magnificati0on centered
... how can scolling parameters be passed into canvas and project good magnification with crisp and clear depth

<Downchuck> thanks for the minutes; well done

RS: going to review WebKit code
... focus in caret tracking and WebKit

CP: current issue: non-interactive elements such as text span aren't assigned as focusable in shadow DOM
... trying to find out where is breakdown -- if can get focus on elements, have reasonable success rate
... take handler and start working with it, but haven 't gotten to first step "this is focusable" -- bit parameter? (easy approach?) -- trying to get feedback on this
... windows should be easy to support; haven 't looked at OSX or linux APIs yet

RS: dominic sent me a WebKit link

CP: submitted patch based on feedback -- live process

RS: CP please send me the changes

CP: will send something on the baseline

[ADJOURNED]

CP: need shadow DOM and focusable shadow DOM in WebKit
... been dialoguing with chromium devs
... went directly to chromium dev list -- cross referenced bugs with our issues -- trying to get support in chromium dev community so can get attention
... re Microsoft, have interoperability subgroup -- might be interest there, as well
... work on trying to make MS products work with non-MS tech like PHP
... purpose is to map a11y APIs that already exist -- that is interoperability -- lateral connections sometimes best

RS: need to get done by 21 february 2011

<Downchuck> davidb: thanks for popping in.
