Posted from: 72.254.11.163 29386 1 zcorpan 2009-11-06 11:42:22 +0000 What if you want the focus ring to have a non-rectangular shape? What if the shape is constantly moving around? Will anyone even want system focus ring in canvas rather than rolling their own focus rings in canvas? 29396 2 ian 2009-11-06 17:05:47 +0000 They can't draw their own — there'd be no way to notify the OS of where the focus ring is (required for accessibility assistive tools to move the magnification around, etc), and they wouldn't be able to use the OS-default rendering for focus. 30421 3 ian 2010-01-05 01:14:32 +0000 Seems like the requirements are: 1. ability to draw an OS focus ring around a path 2. ability to draw a custom focus ring if the OS focus style isn't needed 3. ability to specify where the caret is, for magnification tracking 4. design that encourages the author to keep an element in the DOM focused, so that ATs can expose the state 5. no reliance on CSS, since CSS is optional and we don't want the accessibility story to fall apart when styles are absent 30422 4 ian 2010-01-05 02:53:46 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

Check-in comment: drawFocusRing() support http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=4464&to=4465 31151 6 vladimir 2010-01-20 18:55:43 +0000 (Sorry -- first I've seen this, has no mention of canvas anywhere so my filters didn't catch it.) There's very little rationale for the original request, though Hixie identifies a couple of possible needs. But, I don't think that a method on the 2D context is the best place for this -- it's a pretty odd thing to stick onto the 2D rendering context which otherwise has no user interaction. This seems like it would be more useful as a toplevel Document API that overlays a focus ring at a specific location on the page, or something of that nature.
