[blocked] Support DHTML, AJAX, ARIA in Firefox/Gecko
Last modified: 2008-02-19 21:37:31 UTC
The Gecko support in Firefox should be exposing the objects in all pages that use DHTML, AJAX, etc. using their associated AT-SPI roles. The "magic" is done by converting Web ARIA roles appropriately. As a result, we should just get much of the support for free. However, we will probably need logic in Gecko.py to do a few things: 1) Not consume arrow keyboard events if we are in a component that handles caret navigation appropriately 2) Not consume structural keyboard navigation events if we are in a component that needs to use normal typing keys 3) If need be (it may not be needed), tease apart the code for building up a line composed of static text and DHTML/AJAX components See also: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Accessibility/ATSPI_Support At CSUN, users agreed that the "sexy" form of gmail would be a great test page.
Marking this as blocked -- waiting for the Gecko folks to implement it.
Removing target milestone from [blocked] bugs. We have little control over them, so we're better off letting priority and severity be our guide for poking the related components.
All blockers are fixed. Marking this metabug as fixed.
