  3. How about a day of cross platform testing to get our math a11y tool ready for v1.0?

    [simong] pkra: is the math tool anything you can share? Having spent a bit of time on doing some mathy things, Iā€™m always intrigued to learn more

    Yeah, I'm curious given my background was doing computational science. Admittedly, I haven't touched it much since graduation, but I'm curious about it.

    @simong @powrsurg yes, the math tool is completely open source.
  15. Just not yet officially released.

    Hey Slackers. I'm currently digging into <datalist> which I think is a pretty promising component but I'm noticing even in browsers that support it, like Chrome, VoiceOver support is pretty blah. For example, it will tell you to press Control+Option+Space to pull up the list of options to choose, but that doesn't work :(
    Anyone else had pain points in this area?

    [danjordan] I tried to use datalist recently for multiselect, but it only supports that for email and file types http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14148538/multiple-selections-with-datalist

    @zakim-robot interesting.
  22. I opened a bug on Chromium describing the VoiceOver issue https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=618703&can=2&q=datalist&colspec=ID%20Pri%20M%20Stars%20ReleaseBlock%20Component%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20OS%20Modified#

    Firefox seems to be the only browser that supports <datalist> the way I expect. Other browsers only consider something a match if what you type is an exact match to the beginning of the string. Firefox will find 1.2.13: Upgrade the Typography from a search of typography. Other browsers only will find it if you type 1.2.13.

    Really? I thought Firefox had that issue as well, but I could be misremembering. It's been a bit since I've used it.
