17:42:55 [trackbot]
action-1548 -- Léonie Watson to Write revised proposal for aria-current based on today’s meeting for issue 587 -- due 2015-01-08 -- OPEN
17:42:55 [trackbot]
https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1548
17:43:50 [LJWatson]
Aria-current attribute
17:43:52 [LJWatson]
17:43:53 [LJWatson]
Indicates the element that represents the current item within a container or set of related elements.
17:43:55 [LJWatson]
17:43:56 [LJWatson]
The aria-current attribute is an enumerated type. Any value not included in the list of allowed values must be treated by user agents as if the value true
17:43:58 [LJWatson]
had been provided. If the attribute is not present or its value is an empty string, the default value of false applies and the aria-current state must
17:43:59 [LJWatson]
not be exposed by user agents or assistive technologies.
17:44:01 [LJWatson]
17:44:02 [LJWatson]
The aria-current attribute is used when an element within a set of related elements is visually styled to indicate it is the current item in the set. For
17:44:04 [LJWatson]
example:
17:44:05 [LJWatson]
17:44:07 [LJWatson]
The page token could be used to indicate a link within a set of pagination links, where the link is visually styled to represent the currently displayed
17:44:08 [LJWatson]
page.
17:44:10 [LJWatson]
The step token could be used to indicate a link within a step indicator for a step-based process, where the link is visually styled to represent the current
17:44:11 [LJWatson]
step.
17:44:13 [LJWatson]
The location token could be used to indicate the image that is visually highlighted as the current component of a flowchart.
17:44:14 [LJWatson]
The date token could be used to indicate the current date within a calendar.
17:44:16 [LJWatson]
The time token could be used to indicate the current time within a timetable.
17:44:17 [LJWatson]
17:44:19 [LJWatson]
Note:
17:44:20 [LJWatson]
The aria-current attribute is similar to the aria-selected attribute, but there are important differences. For example in a listbox widget for choosing
17:44:22 [LJWatson]
between pages of search results, aria-current would be used to indicate the option representing the currently displayed page of results, Whereas aria-selected
17:44:23 [LJWatson]
would be used to indicate the page of results the user had selected to be displayed next.
17:44:25 [LJWatson]
17:44:26 [LJWatson]
Characteristics of aria-current
17:44:28 [LJWatson]
Used in roles: All elements of the base markup.
17:44:29 [LJWatson]
Value: token
17:44:31 [LJWatson]
values of aria-current:
17:44:32 [LJWatson]
page = Represents the current page within a set of pages.
17:44:34 [LJWatson]
step = Represents the current step within a process.
17:44:35 [LJWatson]
location = Represents the current location within an environment or context.
17:44:37 [LJWatson]
date = Represents the current date within a collection of dates.
17:44:38 [LJWatson]
time = Represents the current time within a set of times.
17:44:40 [LJWatson]
true = Represents a current item within a set.
17:44:41 [LJWatson]
false = Default.

MK: Landmark is abstract.
17:56:47 [LJWatson]
RS: On first pass think this looks pretty cool.
17:58:49 [LJWatson]
RS: One thing in landmark but not region... MK: Was doing most of the editing on this, after Joanie changed the hierarchy.
18:00:37 [LJWatson]
FE: It says "must have aria-label..."
18:00:44 [LJWatson]
MK: No, it's not a must.
18:01:30 [LJWatson]
MK: aria-labelledby is used to reference visible content, and I think that's better. I editorialised but didn't strike out stuff.

18:03:37 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Rich: aside from linking to section in region prose I though this was fine
18:04:38 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Matt: one unique example. A region that included options for a data table. Above and below it, it says rows 15 to 1000, rows per page,
18:05:14 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Matt: So, we had put a navigation region around it an labelled it results. It is exactly the same content above and below the table
18:05:29 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Matt: It seems to violate a sensory perception rule
18:05:41 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Matt: It mad it completely pointless
18:06:45 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Matt: we have a navigation region labelled results. So, we have two regions having the same results. Both provide navigation have the same results above and below the table
18:07:06 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Matt: the table was jut called results
18:07:19 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Matt: you have results table and results navigation above and below the table
18:07:30 [jamesn]

18:07:42 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Matt: you can see that the navigation agenda is there above and below
18:07:52 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Matt: giving them the same label is helpful
18:08:24 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Matt: I thought about adding location information in the label was not helpful
18:08:30 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Rich: that is a WCAG violation
18:08:56 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Matt: results navigation located at the top of the table
18:09:04 [richardschwerdtfeger]
joseph: is there an aria-controls?
18:09:25 [Zakim]
+James_Nurthen
18:09:25 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Matt: the labels are not unique and we have a normative unique requirement.

jamesn: correction: bottom and top are generally ok but left and right are
18:13:11 [richardschwerdtfeger]
jamen: not
18:15:06 [clown]
spelling mistake in landmark text at end of first paragraph: "by providing a dbrief, descriptive label". "brief" not "dbrief".
18:17:13 [Susann_Keohane]
rich: if you have 2 at the same level with the same name that would be a potential problem
18:17:41 [Susann_Keohane]
rich: my concern is that is will be a manual test
18:18:00 [mattking]
An element with role region must have a unique label that describes the purpose of its content. Authors should reference a visible label with
18:18:02 [mattking]
aria-labelledby
18:18:03 [mattking]
if a visible label is present. Authors should include the label inside of a heading whenever possible. The heading may be an instance of the standard
18:18:05 [mattking]
host language heading element or an instance of an element with role
18:18:07 [mattking]
heading.
18:18:41 [clown]
"An element with role region must have a label that describes the purpose of its content"
18:18:43 [Susann_Keohane]
mattking: if you take the word unique out it doesn't change the testing requirements. With the work unique you have a manual test
18:19:02 [Susann_Keohane]
mattking: w/o the word unique you still have the same manual test requirement
18:19:51 [Susann_Keohane]
mattking: this is like link text, you have a unique requirement with the link labels. the manual test that the link describes it target
18:20:16 [Susann_Keohane]
mattking: also like alt text, you must have alt text and it needs to be appropiate
18:20:48 [Susann_Keohane]
jamesn: if you are only testing uniqueness you are fooling yourself you are testing requirement
18:21:07 [Susann_Keohane]
rich: any manual test drives cost through the roof
18:22:00 [Susann_Keohane]
mattking: unique label cause developers to make ugly labels to be unique
18:23:05 [Susann_Keohane]
mattking: proposes that uniqueness not be in the verbiage
18:23:30 [Susann_Keohane]
jamesn: rather flag it for developers to ensure they are doing the same thing if not there is a problem
18:23:37 [Susann_Keohane]
rich: what's the groups decision
18:23:45 [jamesn]
unique removed
18:23:46 [Susann_Keohane]
fred: I would like to see unique removed
