ARIA trees should output only state change if item is unchanged
Last modified: 2008-07-22 19:32:22 UTC
We are currently announcing all information (state, item, level) when there is a state change. The output for ARIA trees should be changed to output only state changes when the item is unchanged. Testcase: http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/dojotoolkit/dijit/tests/test_Tree.html
Created attachment 94656 [details] [review] first version of ARIA trees should output only state change if item is unchanged This version addresses speech output by only outputting the state change when the item has not changed. Braille output has not been addressed. Mike, Will could you please give me some guidance here.
Hey Scott: This looks good. This note to translators probably should be removed, and I don't know how it got there in the original code (i.e., I acknowledge this patch isn't the thing that put it there): + # Translators: this is the role name for this object + # For braille, I believe we should keep it as it is. The main goal here is to reduce verbosity in speech when an object's state changes while it already has focus. I say check it in to trunk, which is where our ARIA work is going. Thanks!
Sorry about extra translator note. Must have been a copy/paste error. Committed to repository.
