Re: Proposing a Technique for 1.3.5 Identify Input Purpose

David,

Should we be recommending a technique that is only valid for English?

It could work globally if it implies that cognitive AT would be parsing the AccName to determine purpose, and to make it work the AT would know the content language, and look in its own lexicon for a localized equivalent for the 5.2 autocomplete tokens.  I think that could get messy.

Also might we see content authors in non-English languages adding an English text fragment in non-English labels in an effort to comply?

Subject: Proposing a Technique for 1.3.5 Identify Input Purpose


I've created a proposed technique for 1.3.5 which would allow the ACCNAME to contain a (case insensitive) string identical to the HTML 5.2 corresponding autocomplete token (or a string which contains the entire token within its string).

https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/Accname-matches-autocomplete<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2FWAI%2FGL%2Fwiki%2FAccname-matches-autocomplete&data=02%7C01%7Cmhakkinen%40ets.org%7Ca109512c62b542e98b2a08d5da144acd%7C0ba6e9b760b34fae92f37e6ddd9e9b65%7C0%7C0%7C636654703052372293&sdata=SWLuz7gnmt4VbyqhXOOdUijzaPGyY4XNBaeNHXIfWvI%3D&reserved=0>

I took the idea from our new SC Label in Name (2.5.3), where the ACCNAME contains the string of the label.

https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#label-in-name<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2FTR%2FWCAG21%2F%23label-in-name&data=02%7C01%7Cmhakkinen%40ets.org%7Ca109512c62b542e98b2a08d5da144acd%7C0ba6e9b760b34fae92f37e6ddd9e9b65%7C0%7C0%7C636654703052372293&sdata=OwHGXb4a%2B3vqk8HrLOtbT%2B7uep6zN03DXKVN8rS5wVs%3D&reserved=0>

This will provide some flexibility for authors who are creating simple contact forms in English, without compromising programmatic determination for assistive technologies, it provides another means to meet the SC,  for those with security concerns associated with autocomplete.

Cheers,
David MacDonald
