Or >should we specify instead (one or more) descriptions for an >event type (rather than handler)? JRG: This seems to be more a markup issue. The markup language should provide a means to associate the purpose/function of a script to a particular event handler. One possible solution is some thing similar to the label element for form controls. This would be considered conditional content, form a UAAG point of view, and could be made available to the user through the DOM or the User Interface. >Please indicate what other questions WAI or the DOM WG or the >HTML WG should answer. > >[1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2001OctDec/0135 >[2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2001OctDec/0132 >[3] http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-events/ >-- >Ian Jacobs (ij@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs >Tel: +1 718 260-9447 Jon Gunderson, Ph.D., ATP Coordinator of Assistive Communication and Information Technology Division of Rehabilitation - Education Services MC-574 College of Applied Life Studies University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign 1207 S.
