Hi Jeanne, Oh right, that threw me off... So are you thinking we should go back to?: Retracing a navigation step is important for users with cognitive issues that involve memory and attention. This is also important for users whose means of input is not 100% accurate, such as speech input users or users with fine motor challenges. It is also beneficial for users for whom navigation is time consuming, tiring, or painful, because it allows them to avoid having to re-enter long URLs. -Jan (MR) JAN RICHARDS PROJECT MANAGER INCLUSIVE DESIGN RESEARCH CENTRE (IDRC) OCAD UNIVERSITY T 416 977 6000 x3957 F 416 977 9844 E jrichards@ocadu.ca ________________________________________ From: Jeanne Spellman [jeanne@w3.org] Sent: September-03-14 3:51 PM To: Richards, Jan; UAWG Subject: Re: finishing up MS04 I disagree. Although logout isn't an accessibility problem, browsers typically give an error message that the content is no longer available. But there are authors that do set up their "checkout" pages so that you cannot use the back button. It is sloppy coding, and I hate to give them an "out" that the content is no longer available. It should be available. However, that is not the browser's problem. Maybe I should take out the part about authors coding. It's not relevant to user agents.
