Client Side Scripting Techniques

Technique	Applies to DPUB	Owner	Comments
SCR01: Allowing the user to extend the default time limit	Yes	A11Y Meeting 4/10/15	TestTaking issues need to be addressed. Definitely for readers/clients, not sure if applicable for content.
SCR02: Using redundant keyboard and mouse event handlers	Yes	MiaL	also more for clients, but also within content for highliighting/bookmarkinng etc.
SCR14: Using scripts to make nonessential alerts optional	Yes	A11Y Meeting 4/10/15	Test taking warning, asides, etc... Having a hard time thinkinng of a use case; might be no.
SCR16: Providing a script that warns the user a time limit is about to expire	Yes	MiaL	applicable for reader/client, possible for content as well
SCR18: Providing client-side validation and alert	Yes	A11Y Meeting 4/10/15	for reader/client
SCR19: Using an onchange event on a select element without causing a change of context	Yes	MiaL	if there is dynamically updating content
SCR20: Using both keyboard and other device-specific functions	Yes	MiaL	reader/client, but content must support
SCR21: Using functions of the Document Object Model (DOM) to add content to a page	Yes	A11Y Meeting 4/10/15	this seems too web-specific, thoough the general concept seems applicable.
SCR22: Using scripts to control blinking and stop it in five seconds or less	Yes	A11Y Meeting 4/10/15	I think blinking content should prohibited. Would a Dpub contain it anyway? If so, we shoould discuss. Didn't want to say no outright yet though.
SCR24: Using progressive enhancement to open new windows on user request	Not Applicable	A11Y Meeting 4/10/15	too web-specific. Though new windows should be generated, I don't think this is about progressive enhancement for DPUB.

SCR34: Calculating size and position in a way that scales with text size	Yes	MiaL
SCR35: Making actions keyboard accessible by using the onclick event of anchors and buttons	Yes	A11Y Meeting 4/10/15	too web specific, but conncept makes sense for interactive content.
