Review updates to first AT support table - pull request #2569
<Github> w3c/
Matt_King: On Thursday, we talked about the sequence of events which needs to occur in order to merge the supports tables
Matt_King: Right now, this pull request is only adding an AT Support Table to the Button pattern
<Jem> preview: https://
<Jem> Alex's comment on the issue is available at w3c/
Matt_King: We're going to add three more: Radio, Link, and Alert
Alex (not present) has requested review from Matt_King
Alex (not present) is currently fixing an issue with the Candidate / Recommended algorithm identified by howard-e (also not present)
Matt_King: Apple and Vispero will be giving their thumbs up on these before we publish
Matt_King: But when we do, we'll have five out of sixty-five covered. Gotta start somewhere!
About Page: Convert to an About section overview that links to several new pages within the about APG section
JaeunJemmaKu: It looks like Alex has fixed a spacing issue
Matt_King: I want to include this when we publish the support tables. It doesn't have to be exactly the same week, though. It should be the same week or the week before--just not after.

<arigilmore> w3c/
Combobox Date Picker Example: Change previous and next month and year behavior for dates near end of month
Matt_King: This one's on me and AlexFlenniken
jongund: AlexFlenniken did give me some feedback, and I've implemented that. Thank you AlexFlenniken!
Matt_King: AlexFlenniken may need to re-review, then, and I need to take a look, too.
added note related that aria-rolesdescription uses the language of the page
jongund: This is just a couple lines of text
Matt_King: This is assigned to me. It's on my "to-do" list
Listbox Examples: Update scrolling of listbox item with focus into view when page is magnified
<Jem> https://
<Jem> jem: we can add this js lint usage in code guide
<jugglinmike> I've made a recommendation for how to address the linting errors that jongund identified last week
jugglinmike explains the technical details about the linting errors and configuring the linter (which is called ESLint)
<jugglinmike> My co-worker Aleena has updated my patch to your patch so that we can merge it to resolve your problem
Matt_King: The "global" ESLint directive seems a little hard to recognize. Lets see about documenting the project's use of ESLint
<jugglinmike> I can also see if there's a more self-documenting way to express that particular ESLint configuration
New Issue Action Planning
Labelling search inputs and regions
github: w3c/
Matt_King: I think that when you're labeling a search box, you should label it according to what's being seached
Matt_King: This is particularly important when you have multiple search boxes on the same page
Matt_King: For example, if you're on the main Facebook homepage, there's a search labeled "Facebook search", and if you go to groups, there's a search labeled "Search groups", and if you go to a specific group, the label is for that specific group
Matt_King: That's my own personal view as a screen reader user, I wonder if that solves the problem
jamesn: I've never recommended people to use search landmarks, but then again, I'm not a screen reader user
jamesn: I'm wondering if screen reader users find the "search region" useful
Matt_King: There are a lot of screen reader users who only look for "Edit" fields
Matt_King: I've noticed a trend toward more and more searches not being edit fields by default
Matt_King:
Matt_King: In those cases, the search region can be very useful
jamesn: So if there's multiple fields, then I think a search region is good to associate them. However, a search region seems superfluous to add around a single field.
<Jem> mike, can we post to git hub comments?
<jamesn> "A landmark region that contains a collection of items and objects that, as a whole, combine to create a search facility. See related form and searchbox."
Bryan Garaventa: That seems right to me
Matt_King: A label for a search field should not be "search," it should describe what you're searching
JaeunJemmaKu: How should we label this issue?
Matt_King: I want to review the search landmark page
jongund: you can assign it to me
Matt_King: I've added two labels, "feedback" and "question"
arigilmore: I'll take a look, as well
