Mitsue-Links Accessibility Dept. Comment on SC 3.2.7 Change of Content: Avoid using the term "control"

[ghost]

The second exception of SC 3.2.7 Change of Content should avoid using the term "control," because a "change of content" could be triggered by user action without using any controls of a page (e.g. tilting the device).

Currently the second exception is written as below,

The user has been advised of the change of content before, or as a result of using the control;

Though SC 2.6.1 Device Sensors requires alternative methods for functionalities which require specific device sensors, users who intentionally use specific device sensors should be advised.

WCAG 2 uses control in 1.1.1 and as part of the definition for UI component,
Perhaps "triggering mechanism"?

The user has been advised of the change of content before, or as a result of using the triggering mechanism;

Or else a note on UI component that it includes tilting etc... ?

It is fine for us to use “triggering mechanism”.

Proposed response:

We have created a pull request to replace "control that triggers it" with "triggering mechanism"

#521

[awkawk]

Pull request needs to only address this change, currently it makes a bunch of other changes.

[DavidMacDonald]

@awkawk Actually the edit is exactly what it says it is
513c371
Now other requests are part of that branch. Not sure what to do about that.

[alastc]

You're both right: if you make a pull request and then add changes to that branch, it adds them to the change request.
I would either revert the branch back to the point with just those changes, or do that locally and create a separate branch to apply the edits.

[DavidMacDonald]

Amended response as per meeting oct 17.
First bullet would become

• There is a programmatically determined relationship between the new content and triggering mechanism

The second would become

• The user has been advised of the change of content before, or as a result of taking the action
