Minutes

Addition of manual check rules for landmarks, headings, links, form controls, images

JG: One reason I feel these are important is that they provide functionality in AInspector Sidebar for user to see all of the landmarks, or headings, etc. highlighted on the page.

NH: Can think of this kind of manual check as potentially a "coherency" check.

MS: The wording for these kinds of rules can be very important, and is often very challenging.

NH: Verify list markup is used appropriately

MS: Verify list markup has the correct meaning

JG: Verify landmarks describe sections

NH: Verify landmarks identify region types

New rule: Landmark 19

JG: Landmarks should talk about regions

New rules: Frame 1 & Frame 2

JG: Frame rules (one for frames, one for iframes)

JG: One question re. frames: are you labeling frames or giving them acc. names?

MS: I think acc. name is the better choice.

MS: If frame has no content that user can interact with, would like to use role=presentation. Would that be correct according to the specs?

MS: If that isn't possible, I recommend using a very concise phrase such as "No content" for value of the title attribute.

MS: Wording: If the frame or iframe does not contain any content that is displayed to the user, use role="presentation".

JG: Will test role=presentation on iframe in screen readers and talk about next week.

New rules: List 1 & List 2

JG: Coding practices with examples will be especially useful in explaining when list label is beneficial and when it is not.

Miscellaneous

JG: Are there others working for State of Illinois whom we should invite to this group?

MS: Yes, I know of a couple of people we can invite.
