Re: [office] Proposal for Radio Button grouping
Rob, We will need to ensure there is a name we can expose to the accessibility API. Is form:group-name or name="string" the name of the group that will be rendered? If not we will need to add <svg:title> somewhere in there for the short name. Rich Rich Schwerdtfeger Distinguished Engineer, SWG Accessibility Architect/Strategist Chair, IBM Accessibility Architecture Review Board blog: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/blogs/page/schwer Robert Weir/Cambridge/IBM@Lotus Robert Weir/Cambridge/IBM@Lotus 08/04/08 10:29 AM To cc Subject [office] Proposal for Radio Button grouping As you probably know, ODF currently defines the exclusive selection semantics of radio controls based on radio controls with the same name, similar to how this is done in HTML: ODF 1.1, section 11.3.14: "The <form:radio> element describes controls which act like check boxes except that when several radio buttons share the same control name they are mutually exclusive. When one button is on, all of the other buttons with the same name are off. If no radio button is initially on, the way in which the application chooses which button to turn on initially is undefined." On today's ODF TC call the following ODF 1.2 proposal was discussed: http://wiki.oasis-open.org/office/Grouping_for_Radio_Elements This proposal would add a form:group-name attribute to the form:radio element in section 11.3.14, as an alternative way to specify grouped radio buttons. It is not stated how to resolve situations where both grouping methods are in simultaneous, possibly contradictory use. The Proposer has requested a vote on this proposal for next Monday. If the Accessibility SC has any comments, please send them to the TC by Friday.
