[html-aam PR 401] handling fallback content for the meter element #2222
Conversation
resolves #27 this PR looks to treat the fallback content (the subtree) of the meter element as `aria-valuetext`. However, an author updates the value of the meter element, but does not update the subtree/fallback content, then the `value` needs to instead take preference over the fallback content, as the fallback contnet would no longer represent the true value of the `meter` element.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
@cookiecrook's migrated comment provided below:
element's subtree contains text content, user agents SHOULD expose this content
Should this use "text node"?
Or innerText?
along with the element's initial value, by exposing the fallback content
I dunno what this means... Does this mean concat the innerText and aria-valuenow, or convert aria-valuenow to a percentage and then concat? Does "along with" mean prepend? append? join(", ")?

tbh, i'm having doubts about this PR and if this isn't potentially going to add a lot of complexity for fallback content that is primarily meant for instances of user agents where the meter element isn't supported (per the html spec specifically stating this).
so while i originally created this PR to try and address HTML AAM issue 27, I'm now wondering if this PR and that issue should instead be closed? |
