    To be honest - if one of ours devs produced something which looked like that without table markup behind it I would make them log a failure in their VPAT under WCAG 1.3.1

    i understand why you are doing it - but I don't think it passes

    @jnurthen I've made a table example: http://michielbijl.github.io/responsive-rating-matrix/table.html

    That would need role=list(item) on mobile to conform to 1.3.1 then?

    Does take half as much CSS this way…

    I seem to have messed something up.

    @MarcoZehe is pretty clear about it: https://twitter.com/MarcoInEnglish/status/616305610754256896

    @jnurthen hmm, I overlooked one detail. I can add role=list to a tr, but the th in that should not be in the list.

    @MichielBijl The aria-labelledby on the fieldset works pretty much the same as legend with NVDA and Firefox

    I've updated the table example: http://michielbijl.github.io/responsive-rating-matrix/table.html
  14. MichielBijl

    It now includes some JS to switch roles and stuff.

    Not sure about the heading role on row headings. Not sure what other role to apply to that though.

    I guess it could also be turned into plain text http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.1/#text

    Does anyone know why nu conformance checker retunrs “Attribute aria-current not allowed on element a at this point.”
  21. MichielBijl
    20:00
    What else am I supposed to put it on?
  22. jnurthen
    20:01
    aria-current is a 1.1 attribute. I don't think nu has been updated for it yet.
  23. MichielBijl
    20:02
    That must be it.

    @StommePoes we were discussing fonts and different glyphs for i l and 1 etc. What about Tahoma? I always forget about that one.

    @MichielBijl @jnurthen The validator implements the rules in ARIA in HTML http://www.w3.org/TR/html-aria/ most new aria 1.1 attributes have not been added as I am not aware of interoperable implementations of the new attributes. We don't want to encourage use before they are stable and implemented right? If there are implementations of any particular attribute please file a bug

    Oh and merry Christmas slackers 🖖
  27. MichielBijl
    22:53
    That makes sense, yes. I'll keep an eye out for implementations.
