Hi, Steve: Steven Faulkner writes: > what is the issue? > It's Bug 15213 currently marked 'Rejected." It has not been escalated to an Issue--at least not as of yet. Quoting from: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=15213 Description John Foliot 2011-12-15 15:55:06 UTC In the section "Drag-and-drop processing model" ([48]http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/dnd.html#drag-and-drop-processing-model) it states: "Note: img elements and a elements with an href attribute have their draggable attribute set to true by default." This list should also include any element who's role has been set (via ARIA) to either role="link" or role="img" as they are functional equivalents in the Accessibility API Comment 1 Anne 2011-12-15 18:34:48 UTC I thought the intention of ARIA was pure mapping to the accessibility API. I.e. we would not attach behavior to it. Comment 2 Everett Zufelt 2011-12-15 18:57:06 UTC (In reply to comment #1) I can't comment on the intention of ARIA in general, or of its role in the spec. I can say that anchors and images are given the @draggable attribute by default. The ARIA link and img roles are used by developers to represent links (anchors) and images, where native markup is not sufficient. I expect that role="link" and role="img" map to <a> and <img> respectively, in the a11y API mapping. Therefore, I think that we should provide, by default, the @draggable attribute for these roles, in the same way that @draggable is applied by default to <a> and <img>. Comment 3 Anne 2011-12-16 09:46:54 UTC At that point you violate the design of ARIA. Comment 4 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2012-01-28 22:05:53 UTC .... ....
