Ian, Thank you for your summary and proposals related to restructuring the guidelines. Over the weekend I was thinking about some of Ian's ideas related to navigation techniques versus checkpoints. Here are some of my thoughts on what I think he is proposing. Let me know if these are the types of changes you were proposing. Potential changes to current checkpoints: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current checkpoint: Sequential access to active elements Current checkpoint: Search for a link based on its text content Current checkpoint: Allow the user to select a link from a list would be combined into something like: New checkpoint: Allow user to navigate only to active elements The new checkpoint would reference different types of techniques related to all the ways to navigate to active elements: sequential, direct and searching ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current checkpoint: Search for an element based on its text content Current checkpoint: Sequential access to all elements Current checkpoint: Search for content based on attribute value [metadata information) Current checkpoint: Search for the next element with the same attributes as the current element Current checkpoint: Allow the user to navigate the Document Object Model would be combined into a new checkpoint: New checkpoint: Allow user to navigate to all elements The technique for the new checkpoint would cover the different ways to navigate to a particular element. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current checkpoint: Allow the user to move the focus to a frame from a list New checkpoint: Allow user to navigate between frames The technique for the new checkpoint would cover the different ways to navigate between frames ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current checkpoint: Allow the user to move to a header from a list New checkpoint: Allow user to navigate to only headers The technique for the new checkpoint would cover the different ways to navigate between headers: sequential, direct and searching ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current checkpoint: Allow the user to move the focus to the first control of a form from a list New checkpoint: Allow the user to navigate between forms ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current checkpoint: Allow the user to move the focus to a form control from a list New checkpoint: Allow the user to navigate between form controls ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current checkpoint: Allow the user to select a alternative content from a list of alternative content, P2, subgroup: DUA New checkpoint: Allow the user to select alternative content ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current checkpoint: Allow the user to move the selection to a table from a list New checkpoint: Allow the user to navigate between tables ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Gunderson, Ph.D., ATP Coordinator of Assistive Communication and Information Technology Division of Rehabilitation - Education Services University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign 1207 S.
