Hi Jan, Greg and I were having a conversation in the IRC channel about WCAG compliance and inactive/disabled UI components. According to the WCAG guideline, it states:
"Text or images of text that are part of an inactive user interface > component, that are pure decoration, that are not visible to anyone, or that > are part of a picture that contains significant other visual content, have > no contrast requirement." > (Reference: http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-WCAG20-20081211/#visual-audio-contrast-contrast ) In the context of a button that is active and then becomes inactive when activated (i.e. a Submit button that is enabled until pressed), how should we interpret this guideline? It seems the *act* of becoming inactive is significant (this merits contrast?), however, the guideline states that the contrast requirement doesn't apply to inactive components. How should we handle contrast styling in this case? - Jonathan. --- Jonathan Hung / [email protected] <[email protected]> IDRC - Interaction Designer / Researcher Fax: (416) 977-9844
