- # [00:49] <eeejay> surkov, tbsaunde, is there a good reason why invisible and offscreen are mutually exclusive?
- # [01:14] <@tbsaunde> eeejay: well, being invisible means user action won't make it visible which means it can't be offscreen

- # [15:15] * davidb|afk is now known as davidb
- # [15:16] <@marcoz> Hi yzen! :)
- # [15:16] <yzen> marcoz: I was actually wondering if you might have some insight into a bug i m working on right now - bug 924284
- # [15:16] <@firebot> Bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=924284 nor, --, ---, yura.zenevich, NEW, [AccessFu] Utter the value of input widgets.
- # [15:17] <@marcoz> yzen: Sure! What's the question you need help with?
- # [15:18] <yzen> marcoz: so i m looking at the input type range right now, which translates into a slider role, so i can handle it as one. eeejay mentioned the value of the input, but do we want to expose any other relevant attributes like min max etc
- # [15:19] <@marcoz> yzen: No, I don't think so. We could use the min and max values to give an indication, for example an earcon, to indicate that the user has reached the end of the available range. But it should not be announced I think.
- # [15:19] <yzen> marcoz: and on the other note, should i be looking at the other input types that are supported such as url, tel, search etc
- # [15:19] <yzen> marcoz: thanks
- # [15:19] <@marcoz> URL, TEL, Search all translate to standard text inputs. The value will contain the text typed in the field.
- # [15:20] <@marcoz> davidb: Have I shocked you with the mail I CC'd you on earlier? ;-)
- # [15:21] <davidb> marcoz: i haven't got to my bug mail yet :)
- # [15:21] <davidb> but i like the sound of that
- # [15:21] <yzen> marcoz: that's what i thought, ok so range is sort of a special one, thanks :)
- # [15:21] <@marcoz> yzen: In a separate bug, we could use object attributes to expose that certain inputs are search, tel, e-mail etc. fields if we like. Apple does this on iOS, but so far no screen reader on Windows implements this IIRC. Android does it in 4.3 and above.
- # [15:22] <@marcoz> davidb: Oh that's not in bug mail! ;)
- # [15:22] <yzen> marcoz: yes, I was wondering about that , should i file it ?
- # [15:22] <@marcoz> yzen: Sure!
- # [15:22] <davidb> ok let's see i have 62 emails in my moz inbox
- # [15:22] <yzen> marcoz: eqwl
- # [15:22] <davidb> aha yes
- # [15:22] <davidb> marcoz: yes i read that early this morning - brave man
- # [15:23] <davidb> marcoz: that spec needs someone to come in and write a more consumable version
- # [15:26] <@firebot> New Core - Disability Access APIs bug 924896 filed by yura.zenevich@gmail.com.
- # [15:26] <@firebot> Bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=924896 nor, --, ---, yura.zenevich, NEW, [AccessFu] Expose whether the input is a search, url, tel, etc.
- # [15:38] <@marcoz> yzen: Thanks!
- # [15:38] <@marcoz> davidb: Heh, thanks! Let's see what we can do there! I need to get into WCAG WG first. ;)

- # [16:05] * Tomcat|sheriffduty is now known as Tomcat|afk
- # [16:11] <@marcoz> yzen: Yeah, leave placeholder out of the equation for this, it is not a good idea to use in mobile anyway, because it is a fleeing label. As soon as you focus the input, the placeholder goes away and there's no way to get it back.
- # [16:12] <yzen> marcoz: right, i only meant that it's an afordance for the sighted user
- # [16:20] <@marcoz> yzen: Also, did you check that we actually *do* expose the type as an object attribute at the moment?
- # [16:21] <yzen> marcoz: not yet, but will try it
