[oats-sig] WWAAC project information

What is also interesting is that I was trying to scan links in firefox

Exactly - and kind of like Johnathan's site does, except with customisable
colours and on any site...

WHY - because I have a VI user who is a switch user
WHEN - to scan links when trying to browse the internet with switch access
software...

Cheers

Hi SImon, can I make sure I understand.

I think you are saying when you tab between hyperlinks in the document (web
page) you only see a focus rectangle and you want a clearer highlight? Is
that right?

So I think the requirement is that when selecting any UI or document
elements in the application they should always be clearly highlighted? If so
that is part of what I will be doing for the in-app selection (probably not
as a patch to Firefox but via control from the OSK)

Can I have some details of WHY and WHEN this is needed?

Steve
