Re: [Accessibility-ia2] ARIA feed role

[Richard Schwerdtfeger]

I agree with your point about 3. My current mapping is 2) for the same concerns you have for 1). It is also consistent with ATK/ATSPI which uses ATK_ROLE_PANEL with xml-roles="feed".

 

Please let me know.

 

Best,

Rich

So I can see three options
 

1) IA2_ROLE_FEED

It will take time to be picked up by browsers and screen readers.
 

2) ROLE_SYSTEM_GROUPING with xml-roles='feed'
 

Probably more backward compatible option, as existing AT, that have no 'feed' support, can announce 'grouping'.
 

3) ROLE_SYSTEM_LIST with xml-roles='feed'
 

It's good in terms of group position info, but articles as children may be confusing for AT.
 

Joanie, how have ATK approached to this?
 

Thanks.

Alex.

Alex,

 

A feed is a list of articles that is infinitely scrolling. There is no end. This was requested by Facebook and it could also apply to Twitter and Instagram.

 

Each article can have an aria-posinset and  aria-setsize. Also, the presence of the feed role would indicate new keyboard navigation.

 

So, this is why it is not a "list per say".  However, you could make it a list with an xml-roles="feed" value but there would be no listitems. They would be articles.

Hi.
 

A new 'feed' role was introduced by ARIA 1.1 [1], which is a list of feeds. I'm curious if the new ARIA role deserves a new IA2 role or we can go with MSAA ROLE_SYSTEM_LIST role as we do for ARIA directory role [2] and [3].
 

Thanks.

Alex.
