This issue is all about searching. I have some new text and a couple of points: 1) Searching suggests something we do over many documents - find is some thing we do inside a document - although I realise find is what we do to action the searching. Question, should be look at changing some wording here to include 'find'. 2) This is about text content - but does this mean captions in multimedia - and if so is it the player or the browsers responsibility to offer this functionality? 3) If search / find is not included in the UA functionality - do they need to add it specifically to meet our guidelines? I've reformulated 4.6 in total taking ijto account Gregs suggestions thus: #87. Adopted #88. Should Be 'A' (search / find used by most Visually Disabled Users.) #89. Kind of / called it search direction #90. Adopted; however, multimedia components are not necessary as it is about text search in content) #91. see 3.10.2 #92. Adopted #93. Changed the way 4.6 is structured #94. Adopted #95. Adopted as 4.6.6 So the restructuring / re-working looks like this: Guideline 4.6 Provide Accessible Text Search (Find). 4.6.1 Search Rendered: The user can perform a search within rendered content (e.g., not hidden with a style) for text and text alternatives for a sequence of characters from the document character set. (Level A) 4.6.2 Search Direction: (Level A): (a) direction: The user has the option of searching forward or backward from any selected or focused location in content (b) notification: the user is notified of changes in search direction; and when the search reaches the upper or lower extent of the content based on the search direction. 4.6.3 Match Found: When there is a match, the following are true (Level A): (a) notification: the user is alerted (b) move: the viewport moves so that the matched text content is at least partially within it, (c) search again: the user can search for the next instance of the text from the location of the match. 4.6.4 No Match Found: When there is no match, the following is true (Level A): (a) notification: the user is alerted 4.6.5 Case Sensitivity: There is a case sensitive and case- insensitive search option. (Level A) 4.6.6 Advanced Search: If the user agent provides an advanced search facility, it is fully accessible. (Level AA) Cheers Si. ======================= Simon Harper University of Manchester (UK) Human Centred Web Lab: http://hcw.cs.manchester.ac.uk My Site: http://hcw.cs.manchester.ac.uk/people/harper/ My Diary (Web): http://hcw.cs.manchester.ac.uk/people/harper/ phpicalendar/week.php My Diary (Subscribe): http://hcw.cs.manchester.ac.uk/diaries/harper/ SimonHarper.ics
