http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10251 Summary: Psuedo-Cascade of Multiple Accesskeys Definable for an Individual Element Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Platform: All URL: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/editing.html#the-accesske y-attribute OS/Version: All Status: NEW Keywords: a11y Severity: blocker Priority: P1 Component: HTML5 spec (editor: Ian Hickson) AssignedTo: ian@hixie.ch ReportedBy: oedipus@hicom.net QAContact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: oedipus@hicom.net, mike@w3.org, public-html@w3.org, public-html-a11y@w3.org one can provide a "cascade" of accesskeys for an individual element using a space delimited list; to take the example currently in the HTML5 draft: QUOTE src-"http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/editing.html#the-accesskey-attribute" ... the search field is given two possible access keys, "s" and "0" (in that order). A user agent on a device with a full keyboard might pick Ctrl+Alt+S as the shortcut key, while a user agent on a small device with just a numeric keypad might pick just the plain unadorned key 0: <form action="/search"> <label>Search: <input type="search" name="q" accesskey="s 0"></label> <input type="submit"> </form> UNQUOTE ISSUE 1. cascade order is a very "weak" rather than a strong binding -- how does the user know what accesskey to use when multiple accesskeys are assigned to an individual element? ISSUE 2. "limited group of characters" -- there are a very finite number of characters that one can use as an accesskey; is the cascade of keys set using a space delimited list global? (that is, does every first item listed belong to accesskey-scheme A, the second to accesskey-scheme-B, etc. <form action="/search"> <label>Search: <input type="search" name="q" accesskey="s 0"></label> <input type="submit" accesskey="= 1"> </form> in the preceding code sample, is the first accesskey theme: 1. accesskey for input type="search" = s 2. accesskey for input type="submit" = = (for fellow speech users, the first acesskey is the character s while the second is the equals-sign) and the second: A. accesskey for input type="search" = 0 B. accesskey for input type="submit" = 1 (for fellow speech users, the first acesskey is the character 0 while the second is the character 1) SOLUTION: if the above is true, it needs to be explicitly stated in the HTML5 spec. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
