Re: May 31 agenda

Hey

I’m not sure that’s correct about the placeholder attribute not usually being part of the accessible name unless the author adds an ARIA attribute. Should that have said something else?

The HTML AAM document says that the placeholder attribute is the last possible option to be used for an accessible name: https://www.w3.org/TR/html-aam-1.0/#input-type-text-input-type-password-input-type-number-input-type-search-input-type-tel-input-type-email-input-type-url-and-textarea-element-accessible-name-computation


Recent WPT tests from the ARIA WG show that Chrome, Firefox, and Safari all use the placeholder attribute to generate an accessible name:

Thanks

Subject: Today's agenda
We’re closing up another 2-week phase, so we’ll just be doing our regular agenda. I have to leave the call at the mid-point, so Alastair will lead the second half.

  1.  Review ‘For discussion’ items
  2.  Review ‘Drafted’ items (30 min), either:

     *   move back to In progress, with more work to do
     *   move to Ready for approval, if there is general agreement the issue is sufficiently resolved
     *   leave in Drafted, if discussion was not concluded satisfactorily

  1.  Review issues closed and project items closed.
  2.  Review ‘To do’.
  3.  Time permitting, items of interest to participants, including open discussions.
