<Greg> Here's the draft:

<Greg> Ryan uses a mouse, but his hand tremor makes him more likely to
accidentally miss his intended target. Cancel and Submit (or OK)
buttons are often next to each other, and Ryan has found that
submitting a form inappropriately can cause serious complications, so
he sets a browser option to always request confirmation of form
submissions. As a result, when he clicks on a submit button the...

to submit this form?” with buttons to Submit and Cancel.

<scribe> scribe: jallan

all discussion of the wording.

sh: if user has trouble with form buttons won't the have trouble with
the dialog.

gl: could use css to separate buttons further

js: why not a setting in the UA for larger buttons, or more space.

gl: that would be bad for dexterity issues.

<Greg> That is, we don't want to always require larger, more widely
spaced buttons.

js: they wouldn't be asking for the confirmation.

<Greg> We discussed whether confirmation is the best that can be done
for people who inadvertently click buttons, and ideas for additional
features that could help.

<jeanne> As a result, when he clicks on a submit button the browser
presents a message box asking "Are you sure you want to submit this
form?" with larger, well-spaced buttons for Submit and Cancel.

1.2.1 Repair Missing Alternatives

1.2.2 Repair Empty Alternatives

Action-712

https://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/tracker/actions/712

Write an SC to substitute for 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 that gives the user the

ability to request the meta data available for an object,

<Greg> What is the difference between "Browse and Render" and this proposal?

1.8.5 action-491

jr: any view port state allowed by the content or web application.

<Jan> 1.8.5 Viewport History:For user agents that implement a viewport
history mechanism (e.g. "back" button), the user can return to any
state in the viewport history that is allowed by the content,
restoring the prior point of regard, input focus and selection.(Level
A)

gl: feels that there is existing somewhere

kf+ +1

no objections

Resolved: add 1.8.5 Viewport History:For user agents that implement a
viewport history mechanism (e.g. "back" button), the user can return
to any state in the viewport history that is allowed by the content,
restoring the prior point of regard, input focus and selection.(Level
A) to document

<trackbot> ACTION-637 Craft 1.8.5 closed

close action-491

<trackbot> ACTION-491 Rewrite 1.8.5 to include exception for financial
or other web application criteria (can't go back or charge credit card
twice) closed

<jeanne> action-639?

<trackbot> ACTION-639 -- Jan Richards to propose how to explain that
1.10.2 outline view should be operable -- due 2011-11-10 -- OPEN

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/tracker/actions/639

jan will review Action-639
Action-467 on 1.11.1 and 1.11.2

js: could move 1.11.1 to AA

1.11.1 Access Relationships: The user can access explicitly-defined
relationships based on the user's position in content (e.g. show form
control's label, show label's form control, show a cell's table
headers). (Level A)

ja: should be A.

js: not done well today.

sh: this should stay A, unless covered else where. visually proximity
defines relation.
... if relationship is explicity defined then user should be able to access it.

s/explicty/explicitly

discussion about position in content

<jeanne> Intent of Success Criterion 1.11.1:

<jeanne> Some users have difficulty perceiving, remembering, or
understanding the relationships between elements and their contexts.
HTML controls and elements are sometimes grouped together to make up a
composite control; certain elements relate to others in a recognizable
manner, such as relationships with 'id' attributes and child elements.
This is the case with Ajax widgets and with form elements. By

<jeanne> making sure the user can be informed about these
relationships means that, say, visually disabled users can better
understand these relationships even if the elements are not adjacent
on the screen or the DOM.

<jeanne> Examples of Success Criterion 1.11.1: John has low vision and
uses a screen magnifier to access his Browser. When interacting with
tables and spreadsheets John has to move the viewport of the magnifier
to understand the row and column titles of the cell with which he is
interacting. This takes additional time and effort and is therefore
frustrating. John has just purchased a new Browser because it

<jeanne> presents the row and column titles when he hovers over a cell
- this makes him much more productive at his accounting job.

<jeanne> Related Resources for Success Criterion 1.11.1: WAI-ARIA

<jeanne> UAAG 2.7.3 Location in Hierarchy

jr: person on form control, they can find the label. if in a table
cell, they can find headers.
... in 1.2.3 we have mission associations (artificial
intelligence...difficult to do)
... not cover elsewhere
... what does this mean in operationally
... what about summary, or adjacent cells, testing gets tricky

ja: do we need to reword to make it more testable.

jr: what does "user can access" mean.
... with AT only or programmatically
... AT DOM navigation. surfacing it to every user (hover over cell).
intermediate possibility...firebug to technically show all known
relationships

gl: target of this SC is general user not the techy

jr: is there something implicit that the user cannot understand
without the relationships.
... if the rest of the document disappeared, what else is needed
(relationships) to gain meaning for a particular set of words.

js: if it stays an A, it needs to have a lower scope.

jr: this is similar to GL 2.5 (2.5.1, 2.5.2)
... there are about a dozen SC related to relationships.

<scribe> ACTION: Jim to review all SC related to relationships to
simplify with Jan [recorded in
http://www.w3.org/2012/04/05-ua-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-722 - Review all SC related to relationships
to simplify with Jan [on Jim Allan - due 2012-04-12].

jr: what about ARIA relationships, parent-child, etc. fieldset/legent,
table summary and caption

2.1.8 Efficient Keyboard Access

Action-530

https://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/tracker/actions/530

Look at IER for the new 2.1.8 and compare with the IER for ATAG

A.3.1.3 and update as necessary.

<jeanne> action-530?

<trackbot> ACTION-530 -- Jeanne F Spellman to look at IER for the new
2.1.8 and compare with the IER for ATAG A.3.1.3 and update as
necessary. -- due 2011-12-02 -- OPEN

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/tracker/actions/530
2.1.8 Action-530

Jeanne will review

<jeanne> also needs mobile example.

<jeanne> action-518?

<trackbot> ACTION-518 -- Jim Allan to combine 2.11.2-4 (auto and
executable content) into 1 sc with IER -- due 2011-12-02 -- OPEN

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/tracker/actions/518
1.2.4 review

1.2.4 Broken Alternative Content: The user can be notified when the
user agent cannot render alternative content (e.g. when captions are
broken). (Level AAA)

<kford> This one is fine to me.

js: +1

ja: +1

Resolved: 1.2.4 done!
1.3.1

1.3.1 Highlighted Items:

The user can globally specify that the following be highlighted so
that each class is uniquely distinguished. It is not the intention
that all recognized enabled elements be uniquely distinguished, just
that they be distinguished from disabled elements. (Level A)

jr: do we say "globally specify" anymore
... second sentence seems to contradict first.

1.3.1 Highlighted Items:

The user can globally specify that the following be highlighted so
that each class is uniquely distinguished. (Level A)

(a) selection

(b) active keyboard focus (indicated by focus cursors and/or text cursors)

(c) recognized enabled elements (distinguished from disabled elements)

(d) elements with alternative content (see 1.1.2)

(e) recently visited links

The user can globally specify that the following be highlighted so
that each of the following classes is uniquely distinguished: (Level

(d) elements with alternative content (see 1.1.2)

jr: why visited links

gl: cognitive load....too much to remember what you have visited

jr: what about links that are video controls

gl: edge case

jr: not a big issue.
