Re: Issue 650 Does the Hover or focus SC apply to tabbed interfaces?

The note does indeed say  “and other nonmodal popups” but  it continues with "which display on hover and focus ARE EXAMPLES of additional content covered by this criterion." and not exclusively "nonmodal popups" so why not in-page content?


Also you could indeed read "additional content" that way but also in other ways, so a clear definition is highly recommended.


My suggestion would be to exclusively connect this SC to popups (think this is why the SC is there anyway) or exempt​ "in-page" content (with a definition... :-)


Cheers!

I read “additional content” as something that is added to the page, essentially over-the-top of the current page.

If you take a bit of content away and put something else in it’s place, that is new, but not additional. The note does say “and other nonmodal popups” so I don’t think many will read it as applying to tabs.

About the definition for “additional content”, as can be read in my other comments, it's not present and what's present doesn't fit with the SC.
