<scribe> scribe: carmacleod
jongund: why do we have default values? because we want authors to use them?
<BGaraventa> I agree with default values being added within the code
jongund: from an educational standpoint, if we put the default values in the apg source code, it will teach devs
sarah_higley: if directly relevant to the specific example, could add a comment
Jemma: what is the downside to adding a comment?
jongund: in this case, it's a required attribute, so if it's not set it needs a comment
mck: there aren't any required attributes that have default values any more - they are fallbacks
jongund: I don't think we need a hard and fast rule - if something needs a comment, add one
mck: ok, no changes to the code review guidelines
mck: in lieu of having screen
reader specifications, we are trying to establish what expected
behaviors are in a non-normative way
... starting tomorrow, we are going to run a pilot test
<Jemma> http://aria-at-staging.w3.org/
mck: there will be a system where
we have specific tests and trained authorized testers
... making sure that all of the minimum viable product features
are there and function
... if it goes well, we will run tests on half a dozen
patterns, with expected behaviors reviewed by AT developers
jamesn: do you want to present this for 5 - 10 minutes to the main ARIA group?
mck: sure!
jamesn: I can put this on this week's agenda
mck: this is exciting, because a lot of technology goes into putting pixels on glass... need to give people who rely on ATs the same level of product maturity
mck: defining the part that is deterministic and objective, and making sure that part works reliably
<Jemma> https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/pull/1396
sarah: prefer not to have label
on listbox
... not on other comboboxes, not on native
mck: in some implementations, you see the input and the popup simultaneously
BGaraventa: if the listbox covers
up the input, what is the point of the input?
... my point from a screen reader user point of view is that it
doesn't matter where the listbox is positioned visually
sarah: not sure how this affects whether or not the listbox has a label
BGaraventa: I always recommend
that the listbox be labelled
... then if you are browsing, you know where you are
sarah: in that case, I prefer that the listbox label be the exact same as the combobox label
carmacleod: if the combo is "Favorite ice cream", the listbox contains 17 flavors that are not all your favorite?
sarah: regular listbox label would just be "Favorite ice cream"
carmacleod: right
mck: also, when you type a
character, it opens the popup and scrolls to that item
... should we call out this behavior in a section that lists
differences between native select and this combobox?
sarah: need PR 1395 merged so the build doesn't fail on linting
jongund: tabindex values need to be added to the states & properties & tabindex tables
<Jemma> 1) https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/pull/1017
<Jemma> https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/pull/1017#issuecomment-629183916
mck: is this ready to merge?
<Jemma> separate issue Simon created. https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/issues/1405
jongund: yes, I think so - I addressed comments as they came up
mck: was there a live region that needed to be removed?
jongund: that was taken out of the script a long time ago. need to just remove it from the html.
<jamesn> huge +1
<Jemma> https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/pull/1362#issuecomment-629277094
<Jemma> https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/pull/1362
<Jemma> Update menu button datepicker dialog example
Jemma: the last comment says it is modifying an additional file - what do we need to do before merging
<Jemma> https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/pull/1362#issuecomment-629277094
mck: let's get combobox date
picker merged first and then we can fix up 1362
... I'll move it to a fresh branch, and then people can review
without all the history
