Bug 109023 – <meter> element not exposed to accessibility

• Component: Accessibility
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[James Craig]

There are a number of ways to specify it. I think this should be an AXProgressIndicator, and its label/valuetext should be from the text contents.

<meter value=6 max=8>6 blocks used (out of 8 total)</meter>
<meter value=0.75><img alt="75%" src="graph75.png"></meter>
<meter min="0" max="100" value="75"></meter>
<meter min=0 max=20 value=12>12cm</meter>
<meter min=0 max=10 value=2>2cm</meter>
<meter min=0 max=20 value=12 title="centimeters">12cm</meter>
<meter min=0 max=10 value=2 title="centimeters">2cm</meter>

http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/forms.html#the-meter-element

Please update the role-subrole-description.html layout test with any fixes for this bug.

I think we usually use 0 here. I see you have another 0.0f below, too.

no apostrophe

patch addressing Tim's comments.

I didn't change the 0.0f. It looks like there are a lot of places in the source, when a float is being returned, that 0.0f is used

WebKit style is actually pretty clear (http://www.webkit.org/coding/coding-style.html):

> Unless required in order to force floating point math, do not append .0, .f and .0f to floating point literals.

"return" is not a case in which you need to force floating point math, so should not be using any of those suffixes. Odd that this code got away with ignoring this part of the guide for so long.

But that's probably something to be fixed later, not in this patch :)

Is any code anywhere ever going to even come close to assuming that AccessibilityRenderObject::firstChild() is an AccessibilityRenderObject? (and then just static_casting or something?) Can we make sure that it won't?

I just went through all the firstChild() usage and all the static_cast<AXRenderObject> usage and did not see anything that casted without checking the type first. I believe the AX code is pretty good about that right now.

Just slightly worried that we're providing a new and unusual way for this to happen.

Understand your concern. I think the layout tests give us pretty good coverage over lots of bad cases, but there is some risk especially if future code makes incorrect assumptions

I think this is it. Windows only builds AX files if they're in AccessibilityAllInOne.cpp
If something is in that file, it can't be part of the compile targets on mac
