https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=18245 --- Comment #8 from James Craig <jcraig@apple.com> 2012-09-13 19:59:56 UTC --- Steve's concern is that semantics are needed for the controlling elements (e.g. tabs and tablist) versus the controlled elements (e.g. tabpanel). While I don't agree with Robin's statement that tabs are a presentational effect, the semantics mentioned in the CSS card-stack example are for the content sections (similar to ARIA's tabpanel role or a generic hidden/shown div) and may therefore only need to be marked as shown or hidden in the accessibility APIs rather than to have semantic roles or properties applied. Perhaps the confusion is that Robin should have said "card-stacks" rather than "tabs" are a presentational effect that can be used for semantic controls like tab panels, but in cases where the controlling elements indicate some additional functionality, it's the page authors responsibility to convey semantics through use of appropriate HTML elements or ARIA roles. -- Configure bugmail: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
