Target Size update

Hi everyone,

A quick update on Target Size after the meeting on Friday.

Spacing
We went through various options for the “Spacing” exception in this document:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qhh9VgBC_6HD2emkvql2Hn83iSChwlhGBs5_E9gkdEM/edit#

Short version:
Any of the “draw a square” approaches do not capture small targets in a row, as you can draw the square on the outside of the left most item, and outside of the right most item, and then progress into the middle.

There is an interesting suggestion of:
Spacing: there is at least one point in a target that is at least 12 CSS pixels from the closest edge of all other targets simultaneously.

However, we would need to be confident that it doesn’t create different issues from the current text.

Inline
We discussed various options in this doc:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BFNDFnbU9CizswP4oEICpFHeqt7qXg9kRt2QEDoUXSM/edit#

The favoured one was:
Inline: The target is a text link dependent on the line-height of non-link text.

There are a couple of scenarios that could be interpreted in either direction (e.g. bullets and numbers in lists), that we’d need to outline in the understanding doc.

Kind regards,

-Alastair
