Hello, David. In my opinion, the HTML contains enough information for the UA to warn the user, so the issue (if it exists) would depend on the context of use. Thus, I can imagine a closed environment where the specific set of OS-browser-AT is properly informing the user about the new window and a failure would make no sense. Of course, there can be situations where this type of content may fail WCAG 2.0 (I would bet for 3.2.5, but also for 2.4.4, as others suggested). In any case, I don't see it under 3.2.1 or 3.2.2, since the action that opens the new window is "On Activate", and not "On Focus" (the focus is not moved from the link) nor "On Input" (no data input or change of state occurs; the 'active' state of a link is just a presentational state with no DOM consequences). Regards, Ramón. David wrote: > I was thinking more that we were talking about a link that opens to a > new window... and if it should be considered a failure under 3.2.1 or > 3.2.2...
