[WSG] E649 The default scripting language must be specified for an intrinsic event:
I remember I asked this before, still I am unable to figure out how to
fix it. It disturbs me not able to fix it as it shows up as an error
in WAI AA validation; it's not a warning so I am curious to know if
this will cause accessible difficulty to screen readers.
I have this script in a file
script type=text/javascript
//![CDATA[
function validatePollAnswerIsSelected()
{
var options = $$('input.poll_vote');
for( i in options ) {
if( options[i].checked == true ) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
//]]
/script
and the form:
form id=pollForm action=?php echo $action ? method=post
onsubmit=return validatePollAnswerIsSelected();
According to W3C:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/scripts.html#h-18.2.2.1
The onsubmit event occurs when a form is submitted. It only
applies to the FORM element.
CT: Consult the type definition for details about case-sensitivity.
If an attribute value is a list, the keys apply to every value in the
list, unless otherwise indicated.
So vague that I understand every english word yet I haven't a clue
what it means.

And upon rereading, I see you've already found that bit of the spec. Forgive me for responding before I'm properly awake. If you have a script element, you specify the scripting language it uses with a type attribute. You can't do that for an onsubmit attribute, so you need to use meta data to do it: META http-equiv=Content-Script-Type content=text/javascript ... or you could use unobtrusive JavaScript and attach the event handler programatically, which eliminates the need for this. -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk/ *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***

Thanks David and sorry for the confusion :-) OK, finally got it working this time. All I needed is adding this : meta http-equiv=content-script-type content=text/tcl / to the head section. I thought I did that last time and the validator gave me extra errors. Therefor was looking at the 'onsubmit' example this time. Also, just realized it's not for priority 2 requirement but 1. Cynthia Says section 508 passed the checkpoint but Total Validator didn't. tee *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
RE: [WSG] E649: The default scripting language must be specified for an intrinsic event:
I think you will find that this has no direct effect on accessibility. As I am sure you know, if you rely on these methods for navigation, or if that select isn't made keyboard-friendly, then that is a problem, but inline JavaScript on its own is fine. In some circumstances it is better to have it as an external script file, but only for management reasons, not for operational reasons, if that makes sense? Similarly, I think you can afford to ignore that validation warning - I have yet to come across a browser that tries to run JavaScript as anything else.

RE: [WSG] E649: The default scripting language must be specified for an intrinsic event:
Magento is great in practice, but I've found that the only big thing about it for my customers is the admin facilities. But for a designer it's a lot of hard work. I've seen some fantastic examples of what can be done with Magento and there have been some great features that use jQuery (by far the easiest javascript ever!). Now that Magento is completely released the main updates will come from people like us who will develop something for a client and share it with the community. If you'd like someone to bounce ideas around with please feel free to contact me off list. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of tee Sent: 31 August 2008 03:41 To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: Re: [WSG] E649: The default scripting language must be specified for an intrinsic event: Hi Anthony, Thanks for the advice - I know all these by theory :) Problem is in reality there are limitation as to how much I can do or if I am capable of doing.
