RE: 3.2.1 technique

Done

 

Also fixed the "Activate action" problem  

 

Now reads as

 

== Description ==

The objective of this technique is to provide a method for activating things
that is predictable by the user. Users with cognitive disabilities and
people using screen readers or screen magnifiers may be confused by an
unexpected event such as automatic form submission or activation of a
function that causes a change of context.

 

With this technique, all changes of context would be triggered only by a
specific action on the part of the user.  Futher that action would be one
that usually causes changes in context, such ask clicking on a link or
pressing a submit button.  Actions that simply move the focus to an element
would not cause a change of context.

Question: what is meant by "activate action"?

Subject: 3.2.1 technique

We had a snafu with 3.2.1   

 

Both team a and team c had this one.   We deferred to them and they put it
as a secondary technique to be done next round.

 

However it is our only technique.

 

So we need to do it now

 

I did a first pass at it.    it is at  http://tinyurl.com/k3k5z

 

Take a look.  Make - or send me any edits.

 

Shouldn't take you more than 3 minutes.  It is short and obvious. 

 

Thanks
