We believe it can be implemented - we worked quite hard on changing ARIA last year to make sure it would be possible to integrate it in both SVG and HTML (which hda quite different requirements). > how long will we have to wait? I don't know. We don't have a running implementation to show, but I am hoping for it to be available sooner rather than later. > will it be easy for authors to use? Yes. For most controls, you do something like <g aria-role="date-picker"> <!-- some SVG to draw a date picker --> </g> <g aria-role="checkbox" aria-state="checked"> <!-- something to click on and a link to a small script library that stores whether it was clicked, and updates the ARIA accordingly --> </g> > **Input forms are the primary means that users have to purposefully and > intentionally input information. indeed. ... > the SVG example from the XForms test suite has only very partially been > implemented by the popular browsers: The problem as I see it is that we have not seen sufficient demand for Xforms to implement it (which means we haven't even started to test the quality issues you talk about). ... > furthermore it is significantly harder for an author to implement than > html forms. Yes - although it gives more power. So far, ease of authoring seems to be more important. > Do Xforms need to be explicitly focusable? > my example uses anchors.... Form controls should in general. Using ARIA should mean the User Agent automatically makes them focusable. cheers Chaals -- Charles McCathieNevile Opera Software, Standards Group je parle français -- hablo español -- jeg lærer norsk http://my.opera.com/chaals Try Opera: http://www.opera.com
