Re: Quickref 3.5, Intention to publish June 7

Hi Eric,

Thanks for letting us know. There are a few placeholder techniques, although you might notice the (10 year old?) placeholders from WCAG 2.0 have been removed.

We could do with a review of those placeholders, I don’t want to mis-lead people, but I’m glad the update is showing the techniques that we do have.

Cheers,

-Alastair

Hi Alastair, et al,

I have just published an update to the Quickref that includes the latest changes, thanks to Michael sending an updated JSON file.

As I did some manual cleanup of the file I noticed some Techniques being placeholders, for example:

https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/quickref/?showtechniques=1412%2C1413#content-on-hover-or-focus


As this is consistent with the Understanding document:

https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/content-on-hover-or-focus.html#techniques


I figure this is on purpose and that we can more widely announce the Quickref update now. Let me know if that assumption is wrong :-)

Thanks,
👋 Eric

Hi Eric,

It looks good, I don’t think the group needs a review, an FYI is good.

My only question is whether the data for the 2.1 techniques needs updating? It doesn’t appear that any of the new techniques for 2.1 are included?

I’m not sure if that’s due to something on the quickref end, or the data coming from Michael’s build process?

Cheers,

Dear AG WG and EOWG chairs,

I have integrated the WCAG 2.1 tags and fixed some bugs on the Quickref and would like to publish an update by the end of the week.

The tags are the only substantial change and are implemented as approved, other changes are:

  *   Remove smooth scrolling as it caused more problems than it solved. This also reduces flickering when the page loads when the URL has a fragment identifier.
  *   Links to techniques now go to the correct WCAG 2.1 URL instead of to a WCAG 2.0 URL.
  *   Fix bug that left all SCs collapses when no tag was selected anymore
  *   Buttons are now properly aria-pressed instead of aria-selected
  *   Use text instead of background image for pressed tags to be more high contrast mode and other non-background image situations-friendly
  *   Clarify that clearing filters won’t reset WCAG version
  *   Prevent less than one level to be checked
  *   Improve reliability of the left navigation showing the correct place in the document

A preview is here: https://wai-wcag-quickref.netlify.com


Let me know if publishing is OK for you, I can then send a copy of this email to the groups as an FYI. If you think the group needs to review the changes, let me also know.

👋 Eric
