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

Looking at the CSS compositing and blending spec they use overlay and don’t define it. That might work.

I made a small change to try to make it clear that this applies even if the overlay isn’t covering other information on the page:

“When pointer hover or keyboard focus triggers additional content that overlays part of the page, the following are true”

Thanks,

Did you explore the word "overlay"? As in:

"When pointer hover or keyboard focus triggers additional content that overlays other content, the following are true:"

Perhaps no new definition would be required with this approach.

I agree it would help to have something like ‘pop-over’ as the target of the SC. I’m fairly sure we did at one stage, Steve (CCed) might be able to remember why we dropped that?
[Jason] The term was used (with disagreement about whether it should be “popup” or “popover”), but I don’t recall there being a definition. It was relatively uncontroversial, as I recall, that these terms did not have a generally accepted meaning that was clear or precise enough to meet our testability requirements.
