Posted from: 203.218.234.217 43272 1 henry.fai.hang.chan 2010-12-11 10:34:10 +0000 Statement: "An element is specially focusable if the tabindex attribute's definition above defines the element to be **focusable**." Should that be sequentially focusable? or else that makes all elements to be specially focusable, because "non-focusable" elements have a tabIndex default of -1, and elements with a tabindex of -1 are required to be focusable. 44002 2 w3c 2011-01-10 16:54:36 +0000 The bug-triage sub-team of the W3C HTML Accessibility Task Force doesn't think this bug is TF priority. It could affect accessibility, but it's rather a proofreading issue: comment #1 pointed put that the definition of "specially focusable" is imprecise and should be amended by the word "sequentially". We agree. 45243 3 ian 2011-02-08 02:11:49 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: No, it shouldn't be sequentially focusable. An element without a tabindex="" attribute (e.g. <div>) isn't specially focusable, for example. Don't confuse .tabIndex with tabindex="". 52536 4 mike 2011-08-04 05:02:23 +0000 mass-moved component to LC1
