Hi,
While working on WCAG we've found that we need to hide some content so that it's not displayed visually but it's used by assistive devices (such as a web browser reader). For example for label texts in compact forms (where we put the label inside the field -e.g. the search box).
Another example are "skip content" and "got to top" features.
Thus I'd like to propose adding a new public CSS class called "accessibility":
.accessibility { display: none }
We need a vote since it's public and would be used for example in the form located in Main.Spaces. This means that all skins (ours or custom skins done by users) must have it (or the label will be displayed).
WDYT?
Here's my +1
+1
Thanks -Vincent
PS: BTW this raises the question of public vs non public CSS classes. Do we have a list somewhere? If not shouldn't we have one to let skin authors know what class must absolutely exist and also to ensure we don't use non public classes in document content or in templates (non skin templates)?
+1 to start to build such a list, AFAIK we don't have one FTM. http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FrontendResources JV.
