151691 2015-11-30 18:51:23 -0800 AX: Change the AXRoleDescription value of the ARIA feed role to "feed" 2017-04-30 06:33:57 -0700 1 1 1 Unclassified WebKit Accessibility Safari 9 All All RESOLVED DUPLICATE 171183 InRadar P2 Normal --- 1 jcraig jdiggs jdiggs richschwer webkit-bug-importer webkit oldest_to_newest 1145084 0 jcraig 2015-11-30 18:51:23 -0800 ARIA 1.1 adds a new type of list subclass called "feed" with "article" children. Articles are not landmarks, but it might be useful to have some quick navigation between them when in a "feed" context. http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/aria/aria.html#feed 1145085 1 webkit-bug-importer 2015-11-30 18:51:41 -0800 <rdar://problem/23699399> 1145088 2 jcraig 2015-11-30 18:57:17 -0800 That said, I haven't seen a convincing argument for why a list of articles in a "feed" is more or less useful than a list of articles outside a "feed" 1146243 3 jcraig 2015-12-04 01:56:38 -0800 Looks like the general consensus is that people just want article navigation separate from the main landmarks, so let's just add a Safari rotor for <article> and role="article". This would allow quick rotor navigation on many sites like Facebook, Twitter, etc. w/o the need for a new container role. 1146248 4 webkit 2015-12-04 02:28:28 -0800 Before Feed gets shot down completely, please consider that we might want to expand it to support other elements/media like images, video, or even mixed. See PFWG minutes here: http://www.w3.org/2015/11/12-aria-minutes.html#item04 1146262 5 jcraig 2015-12-04 04:05:07 -0800 Isn't "list" sufficient for those? 1151277 6 webkit 2015-12-24 10:38:30 -0800 @James: I think you're better off asking Matt King, he came up with it :) 1246989 7 richschwer 2016-11-01 12:58:43 -0700 I would recommend you do the same mapping we created (Mac terms) for feed. Group would suffice, as you can have a group of articles, if you don’t wish to do anything special. IA2 uses a group role with an xml-roles object attribute=“feed”. So, this would be as simple as having an AXGroup role with a Mac role description of “feed”. 1303043 8 jcraig 2017-04-29 16:41:00 -0700 Adoption of this has been reasonable in sites and other rendering engines, so let's implement. Todo: Implement a new 'feedRole' in WebKit, a with macOS platform mapping of: AXRole: AXGroup AXSubrole: AXApplicationGroup AXRoleDescription: 'feed' 1303046 9 jdiggs 2017-04-29 18:50:45 -0700 (In reply to James Craig from comment #8) > Adoption of this has been reasonable in sites and other rendering engines, > so let's implement. > > Todo: Implement a new 'feedRole' in WebKit, a with macOS platform mapping of: > > AXRole: AXGroup > AXSubrole: AXApplicationGroup The above is already done. > AXRoleDescription: 'feed' This will need to be done. Currently it is 'group'. Assigning to myself. Will do a new patch, along with some other new roles, tomorrow. Thanks for the update! 1303103 10 jdiggs 2017-04-30 06:33:57 -0700 Closing as a dup of bug 171183 which now has a patch which adds the figure and term roles and also updates the AXRoleDescription mapping for the feed role. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 171183 ***
