Re: AccName utility for live AccName algorithm testing on the fly

While this sounds like a nice enhancement, wouldn’t the simplest fix for the cited problem to be to use a different attribute? Perhaps add data-testnode=”true” to the node you want to test then modify the script to look for that?

Hi Bryan

I really like the idea. One thing that might make it easier for me to use to use is to find a way to make it work without having to add id=test to the node, which in some cases requires the label referencing to be adjusted. I think this could be overcome by having the computed value section listen to the focused element inside the sandbox area where the rendered code is showing.
This way a developer could dump in a whole form into the tool, tab around and see the computed value for whatever has focus.


Cheers,
David MacDonald

Hi,
I wanted to share this AccName page that was recently enhanced by Todd Briley.
https://whatsock.github.io/w3c-alternative-text-computation/Editable%20Live%20Input%20AccName%20Test.html


Instead of presenting a static page, it allows you to paste or type whatever markup that you wish to compute the AccName for directly into the page, which you can then dynamically load and test without having to edit the page or reload it. This is a great way to quickly validate markup on the fly while also referencing the latest AccName Prototype code on GitHub. This too has been added to the 'docs' folder within the main GitHub repo for reference.

A quick note, you have to include id="test" on the root node that you are computing the AccName for, otherwise the script will not know which element you are trying to calculate. Simply write the markup you wish to process into the edit field at the end of the page, then click the Paste and Test button.

If anybody else would like to contribute with related tools and utilities, please let me know. All help is welcome.

All the best,
Bryan
