Minutes OpenUI-WHATWG/HTML-CSSWG Meeting 2024-05-08
Presentation on styleable `select`
- jarhar gave a presentation on the background and use cases for a styleable `select` as an introduction to other agenda topics for the meeting. The slides are available here.
CSS UI- appearance: base to enable interoperable styling of controls/components
- The discussion for issue #5998 was centered on answering some questions and re-grounding everyone in the history of this topic since conversations had previously happened across groups separately.
- Some of the historic and current doubts raised were around future compatibility and the property being too specific as well as doubts around accessibility and ergonomics. Many of these concerns, though not easy, have been thought through and addressed in the proposed future state.
- The next step is to see if there is agreement at a conceptual level to add this to CSS with details on exact properties and behavior to be defined in a separate issue. To that end, a summary comment will be added to github for further discussion offline before the next meeting.
