------------------------------------------------------------------------- Checkpoint: Sequential access to active elements Sub-groups: Both Priority: 1 Technique Allow the user to sequentially move the focus of the user agent to the active elements of a document. The active elements include links, form controls and long descriptions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Checkpoint: Search for an element based on its text content Sub groups: Both Priority: 1 Techniques ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Checkpoint: Sequential access to block (paragraph) level elements Sub groups: Dependent user agents Priority: 1 Techniques: Allow the user to sequentially move through block (paragraph) level elements in a document. The current element is selected as the user navigates between blocks (paragraphs). A initial list of block (paragraph) level elements: DD Definition DIV Division DT Definition term H1-H6 Headers LI List elements P Paragraphs PRE Preformatted text TH Table header TD Table data INPUT Form controls TEXTAREA Form control ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Checkpoint: Allow the user to access the text of an element Sub groups: Dependent user agents Priority: 1 Technique Allow the user to view the text content of an element including the viewing of single characters, words and sentences with in the element. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Checkpoint: Search for a link based on its text content Sub groups: Dependent user agents Priority: 2 Techniques Allow the user to search for a link based on the text contents of the links in a document. If the text is found in a link the focus is moved to that link. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Checkpoint: Direct access to a link from a list containing only link elements Sub groups: Dependent user agents Priority: 2 Techniques The user can access a list of links move through the links sequentially or by typing the first letter to move to next occurrence of a link starting with that letter ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Checkpoint: Direct access to a form control from a list of only form controls based on the control label or control type Sub groups: Dependent user agents Priority: 2 Techniques A list of form controls would be presented to the user. The user could sequentially move through the list or type the first letter of a label to move to the next item in the list with a label that starts with that letter. Selecting one of the items in the list of form controls moves the user agent focus to that control. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Checkpoint: Direct access to a long description from a list of only long descriptions Sub groups: Dependent user agents Priority: 2 Techniques A list of elements with long descriptions would be presented to the user. The user could sequentially move through the list or type the first letter of a alternative content (ALT or Title or enclosed text(object element)) to move to the next long description in the list that starts with the letter. Selecting one of the items in the list of long descriptions opens the long descriptions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Checkpoint: Search for the next element with the same attributes as the current element Sub groups: Dependent user agents Priority: 2 Techniques Allow the user to move to the next element of the same element type and attributes. If an author used poor formatting methods this provides a means to navigate the structures of a document. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Checkpoint: Direct access to a table element from a list of only tables based on the table caption or document position Sub groups: Dependent user agents Priority: 2 Techniques A list of tables would be presented to the user. The item text in the list would be based on the CAPTION element or document position of the table with the dimensions of the table. The user could sequentially move through the list or type the first letter of a CAPTION to move to the next item in the list starting with that letter. Selecting one of the items in the list of tables moves the user agent selection to that table. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Checkpoint: Sequential access to a form element from a list of only forms based on the form position Sub groups: Dependent user agents Priority: 2 Techniques A list of forms would be presented to the user. The item text in the list would be based on the document position of the table with the number of controls in the form. The user could sequentially move through the list. Selecting one of the items in the list of forms moves the user agent selection to that form and the focus to the first element in the form.
