16:08:01 zakim, take up item one
16:08:01 'one' does not match any agenda item, Joshue108
16:08:04 zakim, take up item 1
16:08:04 agendum 1. "https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/22_10_2012/" taken up [from Joshue108]
16:08:15
16:08:41 LGR: This could be another tech suitable for 1.3.1
16:08:57 Jon: Do you want more detail? Event handlers etc?
16:09:19 Loretta: We should be telling people to look at what they have implemented, and what the tech is describing.
16:09:36 LGR: The functional tests can be problematic in use.
16:09:54 JG: So you're more interested in how you add keyboard support to any kind of widget.
16:10:02 LGR: Thats what I am wondering.
16:10:24 LGR: You can add tabindex="0", you may or may not use activedescendent etc.
16:10:50 JG: Do you really want to promote people doing tabindex="0" on everything?
16:11:15 LGR: We want to indicate best practice. In some cases, this may be perfectly fine.
16:11:30 JG: So something about adding event handlers to partciular widgets.
16:12:00 JOC: We should have something somehwere.
16:12:44 JOC: We should have examples of where using tabindex is best practice and other where using event handlers or whatever is preferable..
16:13:20 DF: We do have people who may to expect to reach things by tabbing thru, which is the method in most manu type cases.
16:14:01 DF: So this tech may be fine for some browser AT combos, but in some cases in can lead to a loss of context etc.
16:14:26 DF: There should be a disclaimer about use where the user base is known where proper AT and browser combinations are used.
16:14:40 LGR: A technique would be a good place to have that discussion.
16:16:34 JG: I've seen companies use tab technique and felt that was a good technique - but let to thousands of tab stops
16:16:50 JG: Other models for keyboard - but not an ARIA technique at that point
16:17:18 JG: Big part of ARIA / ARIA techs would be to focus on authoring practices - because then when folks get to a menu, they know what behavior to expect
16:17:30 JG: Otherwise they're left wondering how a widget may act
16:17:45 http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/NOTE-UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20-20120103/keyboard-operation-keyboard-operable.html
16:18:35 DF: I wonder about those folks in install base that don't have latest browser / screenreader. They would be badly served by a widget that don't tell them. Perhaps tell users that will miss out on this that they need to use menu keys etc - how to operate
16:19:07 HTML non-ARIA technique: http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20120103/SCR35
16:19:17 JG: Menu bar and menu navigation are two separate things
16:20:08 JG: In a menu instead of links you'll have menu items - you have to add event handlers. You have to look at that because something looks like a menu, you may not want to use ARIA to make it a "menu". If it's just a bunch of links there is already a bunch of built in AT support to navigate
16:21:32 q+
16:21:35 JG: In general I see users overusing ARIA where they shouldn't use it.
16:22:07 JG: Can often add to overcomplicated designs. Menu is one of those items
16:22:28 zakim, ack Loretta
16:22:28 I see no one on the speaker queue
16:22:33 DF: Sounds like a clear case to make a differentiation between the techniques
16:22:40 q+
16:24:04 zakim, ack Loretta
16:24:04 I see no one on the speaker queue
16:24:12 zakim, mute me
16:24:12 Joshue should now be muted
16:24:47 zakim, who is making noise?
16:24:59 Joshue108, listening for 11 seconds I heard sound from the following: Loretta (69%), Jon_Gunderson (16%)
16:25:28 LGR: May be a 1.3.1 technique for menus where description tries to capture what instances you would use this markup for.
16:25:33 +q
16:25:43 zakim, unmute me
16:25:43 Joshue should no longer be muted
16:25:57 LGR: Issue where people are using where it's not appropriate is 1.3.1 - where people are trying to expose semantics w/ ARIA
16:26:26 LGR: There is an existing technique - pre-ARIA - for making actions keyboard accessible
16:26:34 Here it is again:
16:26:44 zakim, ack me
16:26:44 I see no one on the speaker queue
16:26:51 -q
16:26:56 http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20120103/SCR35
16:27:26 JOC: Sounds like Jon has hit on several techniques that we need
16:27:49 LGR: Willing to try to take existing keyboard technique and create a version that is an ARIA/HTML5 technique
16:27:57 JOC: I'd like to help Loretta on that technique
16:29:11 Uses tab or arrow keys for pull down lists of links: http://www.dhs.state.il.us/page.aspx?
16:29:37 q+
16:30:30 zakim, ack jongund
16:30:30 I see no one on the speaker queue
16:30:51 sounds good!
16:32:12 JG: ARIA Authoring Practices outlines keyboard navigation - what different keystrokes should do for different widgets
16:33:06 LGR: Would you consider writing up a 1.3.1 technique for menus where you capture your understanding under what circumstances ARIA techniques could be used for menus?
16:33:50 JG: Yes. I think most of the navigation is just listed links, then just landmark navigation role is fine.
16:34:04 JOC: Thats great, thanks Jon.
16:34:10 JG: I'll try writing it up and sending it. Something about the different types of menus
16:35:05 http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#content-structure-separation-programmatic
16:36:26 JG: So it would be a technique on when it's good to use an ARIA menu? When it's good to use one - when not to use one?
16:36:53 LGR: I'm trying to think of the parallel for the technique of when it's appropriate to use Headings
16:37:07 zakim, who is noisy
16:37:07 I don't understand 'who is noisy', marcjohlic
16:37:14 zakim, who is making noise
16:37:14 I don't understand 'who is making noise', marcjohlic
16:39:40 JOC: Traditionally menus over the years have been Lists - but there is a disconnect on what these things may be and how you expect them to act
16:42:11 Agreement to write up draft and then discuss further when we have that draft
16:45:04 LGR: Two techniques for Jon - 4.1.2 using specific menu roles and properties and 1.3.1 when to use menu, menubar roles
16:46:44 agenda + ARIA Expandable
16:46:51 zakim, take up item two
16:46:51 'two' does not match any agenda item, Joshue108
16:46:54 zakim, take up item 2
16:46:54 agendum 2. "ARIA Expandable" taken up [from Joshue108]
16:47:47 https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/htmltechs20121005/results#xtree
16:53:01 JG: Don't believe ARIA has the concept of a static tree
16:53:09 LGR: I pulled that example out of the ARIA spec
16:53:57 JG: To me it's just a nested list - not sure why we should put ARIA on it. I'll ask Rich S what the use case would be
16:54:13 LGR: Certainly not interactive in the sense of expand or collapse
16:54:29 I need to go
16:54:45 -Jon_Gunderson
16:55:15 JOC: Will look at this expanded state in a tree widget technique next week
