Authors routinely hand-code “roving tabindex” logic for composite widgets like toolbars, tablists, menus, listboxes, and grids. In practice, this means providi...

I just saw that the #OpenUI focusgroup proposal is currently under review in the #WHATWG, so... progress? 🤞

Every standard maintained by the #WHATWG is just dripping with smug contempt for the very concept of standardization and best practices, even if you have to read between the lines to see it. Don't even get me started on the Infra Standard's whole "willful violation" bit.

Trying to improve my basic web dev skills, but #WHATWG documentation is one big no good very unhelpful nursery rhyme: "to assign slottables for a slot slot, let slottables be the result of finding slottables for slot. For each slottable of slottables, set slottable's assigned slot to slot."

This took a lot of effort to overcome my perpetual imposter syndrome, but I wanted to make a comment in support of updating XSLT support in browsers. I figure 18 years working with XML and HTML gives me at least some reasonable experience worth sharing. #XSLT #XML #WHATWG […]

The figure is on the left, using a long stick to poke at the Firefox browser logo on the bottom right.

You'd think Google, having launched schema.org, knows how to produce valid schema.org metadata and HTML5.

YouTube: How about a `<span>` inside the head, and `<link rel=alternative>` inside the body?

HTML5 parsers:
Thanks, I'll take that span as your implied end of `<head>`, and raise you an […]

PHP: rfc:url_parsing_api

#PHP may be the first language to correctly support #RFC3986 #URI and #WHATWG #URL at the same time if
RFC wiki.php.net/rfc/url_pars... passes.

I created a polyfill which works on PHP8.1+ github.com/bakame-php/a... It will get tagged as stable once the RFC has passed.
