No, there isn't a W3C javascript group, since w3c isn't developing javascript - there is a liaison with the ECMAscript people who are developing it. I think there are two places to look at this - the major one is to think about content guidelines, and the idea that if something is transparent it is a bad idea to make that bit clickable (this is generally not too hard in svg I believe). In making an imagemap in HTML there is provision for doing this, and there are similar techniques that can be used in SVG where regions that look unclickable can be marked as not being linked. I'll take this techique up with the WCAG group too - thanks for pointing out the problem. Cheers Charles On Sat, 30 Jun 2001, Jonathan Chetwynd wrote: Is there a w3c javascript/dhtml working group? If one object (which has a transparent area) is placed above another, there is a logical inconsistency, in that the user sees themselves clicking one object, but is taken to the other object's location. http://www.peepo.com/crap/lbv/ (ie5 only) is an example. Does anyone know of any workaround? Who could I write to, in order to get this matter addressed, it seems fairly fundamental.... thanks jonathan chetwynd IT teacher (LDD) j.chetwynd@btinternet.com http://www.peepo.com "The first and still the best picture directory on the web" -- Charles McCathieNevile http://www.w3.org/People/Charles phone: +61 409 134 136 W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI fax: +1 617 258 5999 Location: 21 Mitchell street FOOTSCRAY Vic 3011, Australia (or W3C INRIA, Route des Lucioles, BP 93, 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France)
