aloha, ian! checkpoint 10.6, as prosed by me [1], amended by Len Kasday [2], and adopted by the WG during the 25 August telecon [3], should read: 10.6 Prompt the user to confirm any form submission not explicitly activated by the user. [Priority 2] and not, as it appears in the 27 August draft [4] 10.6 Prompt the user to confirm any form submission not explicitly initiated by the user. [Priority 2] a one word difference, admittedly, but a significant one, i believe... i also am uncertain about the status of the second proposed checkpoint, which addresses event handled forms, contained in the post archived at (long URI warning!) http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/1999JulSep/0139.html has it been dropped, or merely subsumed into 10.6? could, therefore, discussion of (or at least a vote on) the second proposed checkpoint for GL10 If the submission of a form is achieved via a script or an event handler, prompt the user for confirmation before submitting the form content. [Priority 1] * NOTE: This checkpoint is intended to extend the user's control over automated submission mechanisms, such as the HTML4 event handler "onchange" * Refer also to Checkpoint 5.8 be added to the agenda for the 1 September telecon? thanks, gregory. PS: the proposal for the additional checkpoint for GL10 contains proposed techniques, as well References [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/1999JulSep/0151.html [2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/1999JulSep/0150.html [3] http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/1999/08/wai-ua-telecon-19990825.html#minutes [4] http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/WAI-USERAGENT-19990827 -------------------------------------------------------- He that lives on Hope, dies farting -- Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard's Almanack, 1763 -------------------------------------------------------- Gregory J.
