WebMail Accessibility teleconference Notes 12/07/2006 Next meeting: Thursday December 14 Scribe for 12/14/2006: Julio Scribe for 12/21/2006: Matt Julio: in the previous discussion we said "allow the access keys to be configured by the user". Hadi: get our notes to aria group by end of this year. All: besides the contention we agree access keys are useful Hadi: how about inviting Becky to our working group so she can answer our questions? preparing specific webmail related questions / comments would be useful for ARIA. John: discussion about roles for grid. shortcut keys for grid Hadi: access keys are still useful. we shouldn't give up on them. Don: ARIA group is interested in our group. are we responsible to give them feedback? John: comments + examples is our goal Don: get aaron to be involved in our group. Matt: can we standardize on default actions based on the object? John: call it a best practice, not a standard. but yes, it is a good idea to specify the default actions. Don: developer responsible for IE engine (in Beijing) is interested in ARIA. AOL is planning to get Microsoft to spend development hours to have ARIA implemented. John/Matt: it would be nice to get aaron's attention to get state/role relationship with MSAA. John: grid view example doesn't work with Windows Eyes. WE eats the keys that are used to navigate the grid. Hadi: how do we communicate with ARIA? John: i will write up the questions and send them to the group? we can later send them to ARIA group / aaron. Hadi: can john/don write up the difficulties faced John: i write up the current issues Don: aaron answered redirecting to becky. John: if becky could join the call next week that would give us a chance to ask the questions Hadi: does anyone has time to create an address book example? Mike: i could take a stab at creating an example Hadi: we could use the mailing list to share ideas / examples without having to wait for the call Mike/John: use focus and tabindex separately. focus to get a cell to be read, whereas tabindex to move between rows. Don/Mike: use javascript focus to focus an element John: if we give an element tabindex that element becomes focusable. using tabindex = -1 allows to set focus, but does place the element in tab order. Don: we use a technique to dynamically set the tabindex = -1 to allow focus on an element. don has an example of this on his blog. Action items: - Don to invite becky for next week's call - Mike to create an address book example - John/Don to write up the issues - Hadi to write the best practices
