New Skipto Scroll Preview Options

<Jem> feedback is available from w3c/aria-practices#3147 (comment)

<Jem> github:w3c/aria-practices#3147

<Jem> one of the feedback was to slow down the motion

<Jem> ..with option

<Jem> reduce motion is not getting any scroll.

<Jem> reduce/jon:reduced/

<Jem> adam: I am skeptical to add the skip to everywhere in the hilton site but it can be super useful.

<Jem> ...navigating the screen will turn off the scroll option.

<Jem> three options - 1. no scroll at all

<Jem> 2. smooth scroll only

<Jem> Jon: changing the scroll timing will be difficult. the browser controls the time.

<Jem> ..I can look into the way to change the scroll time in CSS.

<Jem> adam: you are right, jon. once you do set up in js, the browser will take care of the rest of timing

<Jem> arie: agreed

<Matt_King> I think there could be 4 options for the skipTo script:

<Matt_King> 1. never scroll

<Matt_King> 2. Instant scroll only, no scroll if reduced motion.

<Matt_King> 3. smooth scroll only, no scroll if reduced motion.

<Matt_King> 4. smooth default, instant scroll if reduced motion

<Jem> Adam: the scroll that happened before I activated the link. It was a surprise, although I am not motion-sensitive.

<Jem> jon: I am thinking how much effort I should add to this..

<Jem> adam: I see the value of the skip to and the browser implemented this decade ago. There are some cases which is super helpful like in wikipedia - long page but some of the commercial site may not need those because it is short.

<Jem> and marketing focused.

<Jem> Jon: I got feedback that smooth is worst or instant scrolling is more receptive to the group of people I talked to.

<Jem> jon: there is also the browser version.

<jongund> https://skipto-landmarks-headings.github.io/page-script-5/browsers.html

<Jem> curt: we also use some skip to feature to some of our site, but not for all.

High Contrast guidance update

<Jem> jon: I made the update but I cannot get it work to preview url.

<Jem> jon: added svg for components

<Jem> .. the multiple changes are seen here. https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/pull/2991/files

<Jem> Jon: I picked the switch example to talk about the svg example.

<Jem> Arie fixed the preview link and pushed the preview link.
