Hi guys, read you comments on IRC ( http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/whatwg/20110616#l-148) "<hober> Hixie: I think stev'e content attribute is totally broken" Please improve/fix I don't much care for the specifics as long as it fixes the brokenness of the many current attempts to fake UI widgets. "<hober> I'm leaning toward writing a zero-edit CP that says basically "there are valid use cases, but the other CP's proposal is woefully underspecified and broken, and to do it right would require a lot of work. let's punt until html.next" the reason the CP arose was to get the feature in the spec spec sooner rather than at some unspecified point in the future, as from my experience reveiwing web apps on a daily basis, its a ubiquitous design pattern that provides accessibility issues due to developers not bothering to provide keyboard access or providing incorrect keyboard access or the keyboard access not working across browsers... "<Hixie> i plan to be doing something along those lines in the coming weeks" great to hear "# <http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/whatwg/20110616#l-162> [01:47] <Hixie> hober: i expect we can probably do something pretty simple that hits the majority of use cases # <http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/whatwg/20110616#l-163> [01:47] <Hixie> hober: but first i need to figure out what the use cases are :-)" below are some examples: of dialog/overlay/lighbox widgets: http://flowplayer.org/tools/overlay/index.html http://alloy.liferay.com/deploy/demos/dialog/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/glow/docs/1.5/furtherinfo/widgets/overlay/ http://rightjs.org/ui/dialog/demo http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/ http://download.dojotoolkit.org/release-0.4.2/dojo-0.4.2p1-widget/tests/widget/test_Dialog.html http://www.sencha.com/examples/pages/window/hello.html http://www.sencha.com/examples/pages/window/dialog.html http://www.sencha.com/examples/pages/window/accordion.html http://dev.sencha.com/deploy/ext-4.0.2a/examples/window/window.html http://leandrovieira.com/projects/jquery/lightbox/ http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox/ http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examples/container/panel.html http://reghellin.com/milkbox/ http://bertramakers.com/moolabs/imagezoom.php http://www.aryweb.nl/projects/MooDialog/ -- with regards Steve Faulkner Technical Director - TPG www.paciellogroup.com | www.HTML5accessibility.com | www.twitter.com/stevefaulkner HTML5: Techniques for providing useful text alternatives - dev.w3.org/html5/alt-techniques/ Web Accessibility Toolbar - www.paciellogroup.com/resources/wat-ie-about.html
