- 16:55:51 [jamesn]
- RS: appendcount and prependcount.... do we really need these?
- 16:56:22 [jamesn]
- MK: want to get feedback from screen reader vendors as to whether they can do without them
- 16:56:34 [jamesn]

- mck_ has joined #aria
- 16:58:20 [jamesn]
- I think I have addressed this. If you look at the new gridcell text in the draft i just listed means issue-740 is overcome by events
- 17:00:29 [jamesn]
- MK: what this is saying is that if you "the cell elements of a grid have role gridcell"
- 17:00:36 [clown]
- http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/mck_issue633/aria/aria.html#gridcell
- 17:01:17 [jamesn]
- MK: and if you follow the link to gridcell it says it can be focussable, editable.... i intended that to be part of the very first paragraph to make it mroe obvious to people.
- 17:01:37 [jamesn]
- MK: those are the things that are distinctly different about grids from tables
- 17:02:29 [jamesn]
- MK: rowheader and columnheader raises another issue. Makes mapping algorithm difficult. Becuase a colheader can either be a widget or not a widget. It seems to me like we need a header cell role which maps to a TH
- 17:02:46 [jamesn]
- MK: cells are not focusbale or selectable. THs are a form of a cell
- 17:03:14 [jamesn]
- MK: if th maps to colheader the supported states and properties include things that do not apply to a TH
- 17:03:22 [jamesn]
- MK: are we good with that
- 17:03:32 [jamesn]
- RS: I think we can do that
- 17:03:47 [jamesn]
- MK: the you could potentially have done the same thing for cell
- 17:04:01 [jamesn]
- RS: everything can get focus in HTML or SVG
- 17:04:08 [jamesn]
- MK: selection is a different thing'
- 17:04:36 [jamesn]
- RS: the net is that unless anyone disagrees is that close 740 as overcome by events
- 17:05:51 [jamesn]
- RS: I think we could put text in the docuement to address that in the context of a table colheader and rowheader are not selectable

- https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pfwg/2015Sep/0033.html
- 17:17:19 [jamesn]
- RS: in HTML5 there is a figure. the issue we have is when you have a figcaption this really is a description not a label for the figure
- 17:17:32 [jamesn]
- RS: but there are times when the label is embedded in the description
- 17:17:51 [jamesn]
- RS: is some special role for figcaption needed to allow you to do this
- 17:18:27 [jamesn]
- MK: could this be a label in the figcaption?
- 17:18:44 [jamesn]
- RS:Steve was asking do we need a figcaption role
- 17:19:01 [jamesn]
- RS: when yu have a figure role it would also have a describedby to point to the description
- 17:19:41 [mck]
- mck has joined #aria
- 17:19:55 [jamesn]
- Stefan: what is the difference between figcaption and a role of figcaption
- 17:20:01 [clown]
- http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/grouping-content.html#the-figcaption-element
- 17:20:22 [jamesn]
- RS: we could mao that to a figcaption but it is really the description for the figure which precedes it
- 17:20:47 [jamesn]
- MK: we decided not to have cpation for table as we have aria-labelledby and aria-describedby
- 17:20:55 [mck__]
- mck__ has joined #aria
- 17:21:08 [jamesn]
- Stefan: would still have to connect them using escibedby so defeats the purpose
- 17:21:18 [jamesn]
- Stefan: is there an exmaple?
- 17:21:26 [jamesn]
- RS: HTML?
- 17:21:35 [jamesn]
- Stefan: a code example which is causing the issue
- 17:21:54 [jamesn]
- RS: have figure followed by figcaption. trying to address the mapping under the surface

- 17:23:21 [jamesn]
- figure: A perceivable section of content which supports the main
- 17:23:22 [jamesn]
- document, and should be easily perceivable regardless of its
- 17:23:22 [jamesn]
- position in the layout. A figure might contain a graphical
- 17:23:22 [jamesn]
- document, an image, or other content such as code snippets or
- 17:23:23 [jamesn]
- example text. Authors SHOULD provide a reference to the figure
- 17:23:23 [jamesn]
- from the main text, but the figure need not be displayed at the
- 17:23:24 [jamesn]
- same location as the referencing element."
- 17:23:26 [jamesn]
- A figure MAY have an associate label or caption, or an
- 17:23:28 [jamesn]
- associated description.
- 17:23:30 [jamesn]
- Assistive technologies SHOULD enable users to quickly navigate
- 17:23:34 [jamesn]
- to figures. Mainstream user agents MAY enable users to quickly
- 17:23:36 [jamesn]
- navigate to figures.
- 17:24:58 [jamesn]
- We differentiate label and descriptions as one being short and the
- 17:24:58 [jamesn]
- other being long. Steve would like for us to have a figcaption role
- 17:24:58 [jamesn]
- but what I think we really need to do is state that Figures must have
- 17:24:58 [jamesn]
- both a visible label and a description. In HTML the description can
- 17:25:00 [jamesn]
- be implied. I would like to discuss this with the group and also see
- 17:25:00 [jamesn]
- whether Steve things that we should require an aria-labelledby on the
- 17:25:00 [jamesn]
- <figure> element or at least an aria-label. I can see where the
- 17:25:04 [jamesn]
- implied description could be adequate and we might just want to have
- 17:25:06 [jamesn]
- an aria-label on it.
- 17:25:08 [jamesn]
- We need to resolve this before this becomes a formal proposal.
- 17:25:21 [jamesn]
- RS: if we have figcaption do we assume it is always a caption?
- 17:25:40 [jamesn]
- FE: would a figcaption show up in the list of figures or something else
- 17:25:53 [jamesn]
- RS: they are using it for dual purpose

- 17:29:06 [jamesn]
- MK: I would have reversed the text in that bubbles example
- 17:29:37 [jamesn]
- MK: what any AT does is up to them
- 17:29:51 [jamesn]
- MK: we don't dictate their UI
- 17:30:11 [jamesn]
- FE: if you make a table of contents you want it to be predictable
- 17:30:34 [jamesn]
- MK: we do use TOC in the spec - but we provide the information - they decide what to do about it
- 17:31:00 [jamesn]
- RS: in SVG drawings when you have a figure - you may not have a description. It would be down in the SVG itself
- 17:31:32 [mck]
- scribe: matt_King
- 17:32:03 [mck]
- RS: if we are gong to have figure role, we can not mandate they have a describedby except through authoring guidelines
- 17:32:31 [mck]
- Joseph: In SVG, do you have to title and desc?
- 17:32:42 [jamesn]
- FE: text can also be in there so could have aria-labelledby
- 17:32:51 [mck]
- Fred: there could be aria-labeledby and a title as well
- 17:33:06 [jamesn]
- FE: could also be a title for the graph inside the SVG so could be an aria-labelled by in the SVG
- 17:33:14 [mck]
- Joseph: if using straight SVG and no ARIA, what do you use?
- 17:33:34 [jamesn]
- MK: if using straight SVG then use title
- 17:33:37 [mck]
- RS: then use title in svg; it will create label.
- 17:34:16 [jamesn]
- FE: if you loaded SVG as a document it will do that
- 17:34:28 [mck]
- RS: it is like the name calculation for html
- 17:34:31 [jamesn]
- clown: alt is specific to the image element
- 17:35:22 [jamesn]
- rs: figcaption - looking at it. I don't know if it affects the positioning. Usually descriptions would be underneath it
- 17:35:39 [jamesn]
- MK: seems like making a decision based on a sample size of 1
- 17:35:43 [jamesn]
- MK: :)
- 17:36:13 [jamesn]
- RS: I don't know if it goes at the beginning. All have seen figures with really big descriptions after them
- 17:36:39 [jamesn]
- RS: the most sommon thing is that figcaptions are descriptions
- 17:36:59 [jamesn]
- FE: in a regular document - with a list of figures what do you see...
- 17:37:02 [jamesn]
- <the label>
- 17:37:48 [jamesn]
- MK: thinking dpub - see a list of figures, usally figure 1 etc.... about a sentence long. Often those captions are relatively long - and the figures do not have a concise label
- 17:38:03 [jamesn]
- MK: in a list of figures would see the labels and the description
- 17:39:02 [clown]
- http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/html-aam/html-aam.html#h-figure-and-figcaption-elements
- 17:39:47 [jamesn]
- MK: would rather add a caption role and in the context of figure is a figcaption and in table it is a table caption
- 17:40:20 [jamesn]
- MK: we could point at the <P> and use aria-describedby and it would have the effetc but that element doesn't get the caption role
- 17:40:32 [jamesn]
- clown: it remains a paragraph inside the table
- 17:40:47 [jamesn]
- clown: not talking about real html table markup
- 17:41:02 [jamesn]
- mk: an opportunity to make the table picture more robust
- 17:41:35 [jamesn]
- stefan: what is the benefit to a cpation role?
- 17:42:57 [jamesn]
- rs: do we want a cpation role and do we want a label role... don't want to open up the label can of worms as people will ask why we dont have it elsewhere
- 17:43:20 [jamesn]
- stefan: say you have a figure and link using aria-labelledby wouldn't it be an AT issue to connect the 2
- 17:43:45 [jamesn]
- rs: if you put a label inside a figure then the text would appear on the screen
- 17:44:04 [jamesn]
- MK: if a figure role on the div and have aria-describedby pointing to a paragraph
- 17:44:24 [jamesn]
- MK: is there no text element in scg
- 17:44:41 [jamesn]
- MK: why not just add a text element and point to it using aria-describedby
- 17:44:56 [jamesn]
- RS: the text appears within the figure
- 17:46:26 [jamesn]
- stefan: if the only issue is visibility can just add a hidden attribute to it
- 17:46:48 [jamesn]
- rs: svg put it in the container can have the text within the svg itself
- 17:47:02 [clown]
- <div><h4 id='figcaption">Figure caption text here</h4><svg> … <somesvgelement aria-labelledby="figcaption">…</svg></div>
- 17:47:09 [jamesn]
- fe: they are not going to put the description inside the svg
- 17:48:07 [MichielBijl]
- MichielBijl has joined #aria
- 17:48:28 [jamesn]
- MK: we came up with a table sollution which didn't need a cpation role
- 17:48:36 [jamesn]
- MK: seems a perfect parallel
- 17:48:49 [jamesn]
- MK: if the issue is mapping it doesn't seem like we need it
- 17:49:03 [jamesn]
- RS: Steve asked that we have a separate role for figcaptions
- 17:49:21 [jamesn]
- RS: reasoning he gave is that it acts as a label and a decription
- 17:50:12 [jamesn]
- MK: I think a figure that has aria-describedby pointing to something has a description, shouldn't require a label - if it has both then a UA can ecide which to use for whatever purpose it has
- 17:50:29 [jamesn]
- MK: seems like label and description should be good for figures
- 17:50:49 [jamesn]
- MK: it is up to them if they have labels or descriptions or both
