RE: 3.2.1 technique

Good! Small tweak (sounds like a couple of transcription errors...):
 
[was]Futher that action would be one that
usually causes changes in context, such ask clicking on a link or
pressing a submit button.  
[new]Further,  that action would be one that
usually causes changes of context, such as clicking on a link or
pressing a submit button.

	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.

		Proposed edit to the Description section:

		 

		<proposed>

		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 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 activate action on the part of the user.
Actions that simply move the

		focus to an element would not cause a change of context.

		</proposed>

		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
