RE: [WSG] a WCAG 2.0 question
I'm also bruised by new windows I didn't want and links which apparently didn't work because they refreshed an existing window below the current one. I second the line of argumentation against new windows. Even if screen readers can deal with them better now, I'd like to keep the user in control of what they're doing. There's no better indicator to a new window than the decision in the user's mind. Cheers, Jens The information contained in this e-mail message and any accompanying files is or may be confidential.

Hey Kay, I'll have to respectively disagree about h1 tags. The Illinois FAE has it about right: max 2 h1's, content in h1's replicated in the title. It's just the test appears to fail correct detection on that criteria. http://slipper-shop.nl/ I don't think we're looking at the same page? Either that or you missed a bit. Page has 2 h1's and 1 h2.

RE: [WSG] Illinois Functional Web Accessibility Evaluator 1.0 Released!
Err... sorry about my initial confusion - I've had a long day. Perhaps, The text content of each h1 element should match all or part of the title content. means that ALL the h1 text content, Welcome - work, you're welcome to it should match PART of the title content - which of course it doesn't, since you have PART of the h1 matching PART of the title. Try removing the tagline so it just reads Welcome and test again. Another interesting experiment might be to add the tagline to the title, say (for example), titleWelcome to webSemantics - work, you're welcome to it - Rich, usable, engaging and accessible solutions/title (for example) and see if you can pass the test with the h1 content matching with a combination of two parts of the title.

but then you wouldn't have,
# Each h1 element must have text content.
# Pass
Perhaps its the other h1 and
The text content of each h1 element should match all or part of the title
content.
means that ALL it's text content,
Welcome - work, you're welcome to it
should match part of the title content (which of course it doesn't).
Try removing the tagline so it just reads Welcome and test again.

Re: [WSG] a WCAG 2.0 question
Ideally they should warn or give some indication that they're going to open in a new window. I know the way i personally browse sites means I hate it when they open things in new windows. If i want new windows, I hold control down as I click, or middle click, or whatever. It's default functionality for almost every browser now. If the site is poorly written and i can't do that because it's trying to run some javascript, it is frustrating, as I shouldn't have a link that isn't a link on my screen. (But this is a different issue) On Thu, Mar 12, 2009 at 5:58 PM, Glen Wallis glen.wal...@velocitynet.com.au wrote: Hello all I am interested to know whether the people on this list consider opening a new window without alerting the user to be a failure to conform to Success Criterion 3.2.2 of WCAG 2.0. The success criterion is as follows: *3.2.2 On Input:* Changing the setting of any user interface component does not automatically cause a change of context unless the user has been advised of the behaviour before using the component. (Level A) The key phrases, I believe are “user interface component” and “change of context”. I looked up the definitions of both phrases. The glossary states quite clearly that a link is a user interface component and that a change of context includes opening a new window. However, the document “Understanding SC 3.2.2” says *“Additional Techniques (Advisory) for 3.2.2* Although not required for conformance, the following additional techniques should be considered in order to make content more accessible. Not all techniques can be used or would be effective in all situations. - Giving users advanced warning when opening a new window. (future link)” This seems like a contradiction. The WCAG 2.0 Recommendation is the only normative document, so it should take precedence over the Understanding document. However, the Understanding document specifically states that warning the user is not required for conformance. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org *** *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
