+Kim_Patch
17:20:55 [JAllan]
sh: if user has trouble with form buttons won't the have trouble with the dialog.
17:21:16 [JAllan]
gl: could use css to separate buttons further
17:21:42 [JAllan]
js: why not a setting in the UA for larger buttons, or more space.
17:22:19 [JAllan]
gl: that would be bad for dexterity issues.
17:22:47 [Greg]
That is, we don't want to always require larger, more widely spaced buttons.
17:22:52 [JAllan]
js: they wouldn't be asking for the confirmation.
17:24:22 [Greg]
We discussed whether confirmation is the best that can be done for people who inadvertently click buttons, and ideas for additional features that could help.
17:24:47 [jeanne]
As a result, when he clicks on a submit button the browser presents a message box asking "Are you sure you want to submit this form?" with larger, well-spaced buttons for Submit and Cancel.

topic: Action-467 on 1.11.1 and 1.11.2
17:48:59 [JAllan]
js: could move 1.11.1 to AA
17:49:08 [JAllan]
1.11.1 Access Relationships: The user can access explicitly-defined relationships based on the user's position in content (e.g. show form control's label, show label's form control, show a cell's table headers). (Level A)
17:50:43 [JAllan]
ja: should be A.
17:51:55 [JAllan]
js: not done well today.
17:53:25 [JAllan]
sh: this should stay A, unless covered else where. visually proximity defines relation.
17:53:57 [JAllan]
... if relationship is explicity defined then user should be able to access it.

17:55:24 [JAllan]
discussion about position in content
17:55:33 [jeanne]
Intent of Success Criterion 1.11.1:
17:55:33 [jeanne]
Some users have difficulty perceiving, remembering, or understanding the relationships between elements and their contexts. HTML controls and elements are sometimes grouped together to make up a composite control; certain elements relate to others in a recognizable manner, such as relationships with 'id' attributes and child elements. This is the case with Ajax widgets and with form elements. By
17:55:33 [jeanne]
making sure the user can be informed about these relationships means that, say, visually disabled users can better understand these relationships even if the elements are not adjacent on the screen or the DOM.
17:55:34 [jeanne]
Examples of Success Criterion 1.11.1: John has low vision and uses a screen magnifier to access his Browser. When interacting with tables and spreadsheets John has to move the viewport of the magnifier to understand the row and column titles of the cell with which he is interacting. This takes additional time and effort and is therefore frustrating. John has just purchased a new Browser because it
17:55:39 [jeanne]
presents the row and column titles when he hovers over a cell - this makes him much more productive at his accounting job.
17:55:41 [jeanne]
Related Resources for Success Criterion 1.11.1: WAI-ARIA

UAAG 2.7.3 Location in Hierarchy
17:56:19 [JAllan]
jr: person on form control, they can find the label. if in a table cell, they can find headers.
17:57:20 [JAllan]
jr: in 1.2.3 we have mission associations (artificial intelligence...difficult to do)
17:57:35 [JAllan]
jr: not cover elsewhere
17:58:58 [JAllan]
jr: what does this mean in operationally
17:59:21 [JAllan]
... what about summary, or adjacent cells, testing gets tricky
17:59:46 [JAllan]
ja: do we need to reword to make it more testable.
18:00:03 [JAllan]
jr: what does "user can access" mean.
18:00:31 [JAllan]
... with AT only or programmatically
18:01:29 [JAllan]
jr: AT DOM navigation. surfacing it to every user (hover over cell). intermediate possibility...firebug to technically show all known relationships
18:01:59 [JAllan]
gl: target of this SC is general user not the techy
18:02:31 [JAllan]
jr: is there something implicit that the user cannot understand without the relationships.
18:04:35 [JAllan]
... if the rest of the document disappeared, what else is needed (relationships) to gain meaning for a particular set of words.
18:05:12 [JAllan]
js: if it stays an A, it needs to have a lower scope.
18:06:04 [JAllan]
jr: this is similar to GL 2.5 (2.5.1, 2.5.2)
18:07:32 [JAllan]
jr: there are about a dozen SC related to relationships.
18:08:07 [JAllan]

Created ACTION-722 - Review all SC related to relationships to simplify with Jan [on Jim Allan - due 2012-04-12].
