Please return home

Now that team B and C have caught up to us.   We need you back working on
team A issues.

 

People asked us to make assignments so I will do that.  If you wish to do a
different topic that is fine.

 

 

Please do up reports for the following topics for the Tues Meeting. 

 

 

Ben – MathML

David – Audio Description

Bruce -  Font

Alex –  You already have one  - I can't remember which now. 

Bengt -  Aggregated

 

 

Remember 

 

a) Don't just look at items in our column.  Check out the ALL and ANYWHERE
to be sure there aren't any other items that should impact your summary.  If
there are – include them in analysis.

b)  the suggested format is

 

1 – summary of issues

2 – any comment, suggestions, or Proposals to address them if you can.

3 – paste the full comments for each comment a the bottom.  

(suggest the abbreviated format of 

a) Number – commenter  

b) Comment

c) any working group notes or proposals

 

I pasted an example (of the full listing of comments) at the bottom of this
email 

 

 

Here is our full workscope

CASE.

4.1.2: What is the "name" or the "role"? What does it mean "values can be
set by the user"? 

 

Proposed Change:

 

Rewrite SC 4.1.2

=============

LC-587 <http://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/35422/wcag20-lc/587>
Jim Thatcher <jim@jimthatcher.com>

 

Part of Item: 

Comment Type: TE

Comment (including rationale for proposed change):

 

I am doing final copy editing of a book chapter on forms.

 

I had talked about how clear the January version of WCAG20 was about forms:

 

SC 4.1.3 The label of each user interface control in the Web content that
accepts input from the user can be programmatically determined and is
explicitly associated with the control.

 

But now that has apparently been replaced by:

 

SC 4.1.2 For all user interface components, the name and role can be
programmatically determined, values that can be set by the user can be
programmatically set, and notification of changes to these items is
available to user agents, including assistive technologies.

 

The problem is that 4.1.2 is absolutely inadequate. The \"Role\" of text
input field is \"text input\"; the name could be \"keyinput\". 4.1.2 is
basic software accessibility - leaving to the AT the process of figuring out
what the prompt (label) is.

 

I just talked with John (who sounds terrific) and he pointed out that - 

 

1.3.1 Information and relationships conveyed through presentation can be
programmatically determined, and notification of changes to these is
available to user agents, including assistive technologies. 

 

Served the same purpose as 4.1.3 - I agree. But it is abstract. It requires
interpretation. 

 

With the Last Call version of WCAG 2.0 there is no success criterion that
specifically addresses labeling forms and I think that is a very serious
mistake.

 

 

 

Proposed Change:

 

Please reinstate 4.1.3.

 

WG COMMENTS

[TEAMC] [HOLD]  

See proposal at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-wcag-teamc/2006Jun/0036.html

discussed by Team C on 19 June 2006.

(Part of this proposal was to add a "failure due to omitting labels 

 for form controls for item selection or text input".)

 

The definition of "relationships" is also relevant; see thread starting at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2006AprJun/0357.html

 

previous proposal:

 

[PARTIAL]

@@change wording of 4.1.2 to "For all user interface components, the name,
role, perceivable properties and relationships can be programmatically
determined, values that can be set by the user can be programmatically set,
and notification of changes to these items is available to user agents,
including assistive technologies."

 

@@respond with: "Labels for form controls are covered by SC 1.3.1, except
for labels that are not visible. For this reason we have merged the text of
SC 4.1.3 from the January 2006 draft with the current text of SC 4.1.2. This
also means all of the 'programmatic control' provisions are now together."

 

--

Discussed on the 22 June 2006 teleconference

Resolution:  Do not accept the proposed resolution for LC-587.  Action item
to Gregg, Bruce, Becky to see if it can be made clearer that 1.3.1 

http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2006/06/22-wai-wcag-minutes.html

 

Bruce adds:  There is also some disconnect between SC 1.3.1/4.1.2 and §508
1194.22(n) which reads:

 

When electronic forms are designed to be completed on-line, the form shall
allow people using assistive technology to access the information, field
elements, and functionality required for completion and submission of the
form, including all directions and cues.

 

The “all directions and cues” portion of the above was more directly
addressed by the deleted 4.1.3 that Jim is writing about.

 

 

 

LC-654
<http://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/35422/understandingwcag20/654
>  Johannes Koch koch@w3development.de  

 

 

Part of Item: Common Failures

Comment Type: TE

Comment (including rationale for proposed change):

 

While there are two HTML techniques about labeling form controls--\"H44
(Using label elements to associate text labels with form controls)\" and
\"H65 (Using the title attribute to identify form controls when the label
element cannot be used)\"--there is no common failure about _not_ labeling
form controls. This also applies to 4.1.2.

 

Proposed Change:

 

Add a common failure about not labeling form controls.

 

Wg notes

[TEAMC]

 

DONE change test procedure in H44 to:

For all input elements of type text, file or password, for all textareas and
for all select elements in the Web unit:

   1. check that there is a label element that identifies the purpose of the
control before the input element;

   2. check that the for attribute of the label element matches the id of
the input element.

For all input elements of type checkbox or radio in the Web unit:

   1. check that there is a label element that identifies the purpose of the
control after the input element;

   2. check that the for attribute of the label element matches the id of
the input element.

 

Discussed in the 20 July 2006 telecon:

Resolution:  Accept proposal for LC-654 as ammended to reference SC 1.3.1. 

http://www.w3.org/2006/07/20-wai-wcag-minutes.html

 

DONE (28 July 2006) add "Failure of SC 1.3.1 and 4.1.2 due to omitting
labels for form controls for item selection or text input"

Proposed technique is available at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-wcag-teamc/2006Jul/0018.html

 

RESOLVED
RESOLUTION

 Thank you for pointing out the missing failure. We will add a "Failure of
SC 1.3.1 due to omitting labels for form controls for item selection or text
input".

LC-935 <http://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/35422/wcag20-lc/935>
Andi Snow-Weaver <andisnow@us.ibm.com>

 

Repurposed widgets require the user to have state information as well. For
example, if a <div> is used to make a checkbox you would need to know if it
were checked or not. States, properties, and values need to be
programmatically determinable.

 

Proposed Change:

 

Change 4.1.2 to "For all user interface components, the name and role can be
programmatically determined, states, properties, and values that can be set
by the user can programmatically determined and set, and notification of
changes to these items is available to user agents, including assistive
technologies."

 

WG NOTES:

LC-1173 <http://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/35422/wcag20-lc/1173>
Greg Lowney gcl-0039@access-research.org

 

4.1.2 includes the phrase "available to user agents, including assistive
technologies", but other criteria say "available to user agents" without the
"including assistive technologies". The phrase is not strictly required
since we define user agents as including assistive technologies; you may
feel it's useful to re-emphasize that here, but if that's the case, wouldn't
it also be warranted in those criteria that say "programmatically..." by
adding "including assistive technology" to the definitions of
programmatically set and programmatically determined?

 

Proposed Change:

 

Delete the phrase ", including assistive technologies", to read "For all
user interface components, the name and role can be programmatically
determined, values that can be set by the user can be programmatically set,
and notification of changes to these items is available to user agents."
