Re: Associating Errors From Wave Plug-in to the HTML Source

Jared,

For the latter one, the goal was to be able to go through the list of errors
and switch over to the original window that has the page and change the DOM
markup. This would enable evaluators to modify the markup and hear how it
sounds with a screen reader or look visually.

If using the duplicate window does not make the WAVE report disappear, I am
fine with that.

It is already. Just ensure that you don't have anything selected within the
page and the "WAVE this page" item should appear in the context menu. There
is also a default shortcut key of Control + Shift
+ U (Command + Shift + U on Mac). If this doesn't work, it may need to
be defined in the Keyboard Shortcuts settings for Extensions (also available
at chrome://extensions/shortcuts).

This isn't optimal because in many cases you may want to evaluate a dynamic
state of the page, and re-loading the page in a new tab would negate this.
You can, however, duplicate the tab (there is an option for Duplicate in the
Window menu) and then run WAVE there. I will, however, look into an option
for doing this automatically with the WAVE extension in cases where this
functionality is desired.

Thanks,

Jared
