Minutes Telecon 2020-11-18
- Many of the use cases addressed in PR #5677 (Add notIfViewed to ScrollIntoViewOptions; add FocusScrollOptions) were handled in the Scroll Snap spec so zcorpan will review and open an issue if anything is missing. There may also be a need to reference Scroll Snap in CSSOM View so that the relationship is clearer to authors and implementors.
- Resolved: Change the PR to just if-needed bits with a reference to scroll snap as long as it’s handling the use cases (PR #5677)
- The resolution to only allow appearance:button on buttons (Issue #5147: Change appearance: button to only apply to buttons) and have it behave the same as appearance:auto was re-opened from a request to be able to have link elements also be styled as buttons.
- Some members were arguing that this is not about styling but about a desire to have buttons able to do more link-like things and therefore this should be discussed within the WHATWG.
- Another argument was that part of why the desire to style links as buttons didn’t come up before is that the native form control styling is too limited and therefore this should be covered in OpenUI.
- The third argument is that this is specifically a request about styling and therefore the request to allow links to be styled as buttons is a logical extension of the property.
- Resolved: Close this issue no change and open a more narrowly scoped issue (Issue #5147)
- Since the last time the group discussed issue #5595 (Proposal: content-visibility: hidden-matchable) there was discussion on GitHub about the accessibility concerns raised on the call and the concerns have been resolved.
- smfr will further look into how Safari is indexing pages to see if that’s a valid use case for the proposed property.
- There is a concern with the current proposal having a difference in behavior between fragments which would cause confusion. Discussion will continue in the issue to try and resolve it.
- On the next call (in two weeks) the group will start by discussing on if this proposal is something which should continue being pursued.
