<Loretta> \ comment?

<Loretta> For non-text content that is a control or accepts user input , such as images used as submit buttons, image maps or complex animations, a name is provided to describe the purpose of the non-text content so that the person at least knows what the non-text content is and why it is there.

<Loretta> WCAG: # Controls, Input: If non-text content is a control or accepts user input, then it has a name that describes its purpose. (Refer to Guideline 4.1 for additional requirements for controls and content that accepts user input.)

<jamesn> ACTION: nurthen to write a note for 1.1.1 understanding in order to clarify that buttons need not have all of their context as part of their label - they need only make sense within their context. [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2011/08/04-wai-wcag-minutes.html#action03]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-139 - Write a note for 1.1.1 understanding in order to clarify that buttons need not have all of their context as part of their label - they need only make sense within their context. [on James Nurthen - due 2011-08-11].
