Description Andi Snow-Weaver 2011-05-18 14:18:40 UTC
See Issue 442: http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/442

Raised at the F2F on May 5th. I checked the minutes but there is nothing more substantive there than what is in the issue: http://www.w3.org/2011/05/05-pf-minutes.html
Comment 1 Andi Snow-Weaver 2011-06-02 14:45:15 UTC
Copying in the discussion:

MC: aria-valuemax and aria-valuemin

CS: editorial clarification that the MUST clause is for authors not user agents

JC: always represent value of sliders as floating point between 0 and 1

CS: they can be set on Windows to any value

JC: if author doesn't expose aria-valuetext, calculate percentage between 0 & 1 and speak that

MC: aria-valuemin and aria-valuemax seem straightforward
... aria-valuetext overrides aria-valuenow

<MichaelC_SJO> issue: should aria-valuetext override aria-valuenow at the AAPI level, or should they be separately mapped so AT can choose

Filed FF bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672202
Comment 3 Andi Snow-Weaver 2011-07-18 18:19:45 UTC
Removed sentence from S&P mapping table that advises to use a string version of aria-value now for aria-text if aria-text is not provided.
Comment 4 David Bolter 2012-02-21 14:21:43 UTC
REOPENED

Please see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672202#c6

"We give valuetext precedence at the MSAA level, and it seems to me we expose the numerical value via IA2 (IAccessibleValue). I believe this bug to be invalid."

Andi I think we need to update the guide.
