Scope of carousel example

[Ignacio-de-Loyola]

Describe your concern

According to ARIA APG's documentation for Carousel, "Typically, one slide is displayed at a time, and users can activate a next or previous slide control that hides the current slide and "rotates" the next or previous slide into view." It is stated. What I'm curious about is whether Carousel, where multiple slides are displayed, should be connected to the entire container of slides by inserting the aria-controls property to the previous/next buttons in the same way.

The ARIA Authoring Practices (APG) Task Force just discussed Scope of carousel example.

<jugglinmike> subtopic: Scope of carousel example
<jugglinmike> github: https://github.com//issues/2700
<jugglinmike> jongund: I think we had another discussion about this. The slider seems to be more like a scroll feature. On the WebAIM discussion list, they were talking about course selection
<jugglinmike> jongund: They were calling that a slider and wondering where the focus should go
<jugglinmike> jongund: It seems like this is similar; when you have more than one thing showing at a time
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: We call those "h-scrolls" as short for "horizontal scrolls", and they are a lot like a carousel, except that they don't automatically rotate
<jugglinmike> jongund: Maybe we need a horizontal scroll example
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: When they say the entire container, maybe they mean the visible set
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: It doesn't seem like this specific example fits our carousel pattern very well
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: I don't know how common this pattern is and if it's something that we should be focusing on, but if someone wants to take it on...
<jugglinmike> jongund: I think it's pretty common. It also came up on the webaim list
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: I would love to have a soft of incubator practice for new things like this. Something to promote a wider variety of input
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: I think it's pretty clear, though, that the carousel pattern isn't going to solve this problem as it is
<jugglinmike> Zakim, end the meeting
