Hi Charles, Discussion here is fine ☺ > I would prefer a more strict SC. > “on or before the first occurrence of an icon on the page” can still be a challenge or barrier for people (including those interpreting the SC without specific examples). I didn’t quite understand what you were suggesting should change, did you mean that it should always be available with the icon, rather than before it? A scenario we were considering was that icons can be used as categorisation and used repeatedly in table rows/columns, for example: https://i1.wp.com/www.joelonsoftware.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/grid.gif?ssl=1 [alt = a table of cases in a bug tracker, the first column shows an icon for ‘bug’ (spider), ‘idea’ (light bulb), and email (envelope).] In scenarios like data-visualisations or maps, it seemed reasonable to allow for a legend approach rather than require something on every instance. It would also help keep it cross-technology, as things like ePub/PDF wouldn’t (reasonably) be able to have a page-level toggle. > This also assumes the “page” is the user’s context. Yep, this is for WCAG 2.x, so the page is the unit of conformance. Cheers, -AlastairReceived on Monday, 13 January 2020 10:43:51 UTC
