https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=27433 Bug ID: 27433 Summary: role=tabpanel should be allowed on section element Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Hardware: PC OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: HTML5 spec Assignee: dave.null@w3.org Reporter: mark.sadecki+w3c@gmail.com QA Contact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: mike@w3.org, public-html-admin@w3.org, public-html-wg-issue-tracking@w3.org 3.2.7.4 Implicit ARIA Semantics [1] currently limits the role attribute on the section element to the following values: > alert, alertdialog, application, contentinfo, dialog, document, log, > main, marquee, region, search, status or presentation However, the section element [2] could conceivably be used to mark up tabpanel content in a tab widget: > The section element represents a generic section of a document or > application. A section, in this context, is a thematic grouping of content. > Each section should be identified, typically by including a heading > (h1-h6 element) as a child of the section element. In fact, the non-normative example that follows explicitly makes note of this use case: > Examples of sections would be chapters, the various tabbed pages in a > tabbed dialog box, or the numbered sections of a thesis. A Web site's home > page could be split into sections for an introduction, news items, and > contact information. Here is a simple example of this use case [3]. This example currently throws a validation error. Recommend adding 'tabpanel' to list of roles allowed on the section element in 3.2.7.4 Implicit ARIA Semantics [1] [1] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/dom.html#sec-implicit-aria-semantics [2] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/sections.html#the-section-element [3] https://rawgit.com/clrux/html5-tabpanel-test/master/index.html -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
