This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
hello, when people drag something over a button they expected to see the button clicking itself automatically after some amount of time. for example in a tab panels view, when I want to drag something from one tab panel, to another one, I will dragover the tab-button to get it activated as a click simulation so: tabButtons[x].addEventListener("click", function(){ p.switchTo(x); }, true); tabButtons[x].addEventListener("dragactivate", function(){ p.switchTo(x); }, true); this can be implementable in the user space but would be convenient to have it as a default drag operation of the browser. bye!
Marking with a11y and a11y_drag-drop keywords for tracking.
Tagging for tracking by the accessibility task force.
I don't understand the request. Can you elaborate?
i want to drag any text into the textfield, without clicking explictly the "aaa" summary in windows os (on other os its the same, i bet) if i drag data over a button and hold the drag for some amount of time, the click event is executed implicitly (and i never released the left mouse button) <details> <summary>aaa</summary> <input type=text> </details> you do this every time in your browser when you want to drag drop something from tab A to tab B, of the same browser window hope to be clear now, my english is not good :(

HTML A11Y TF has said we don't need to track drag and drop bugs because they were filed before an overhaul of that part of the spec, but will review that part of the spec again.
