Re: Sliders and MouseDown

Thanks guys for your thoughts.

This is very frustrating. I'm not sure whether to pass or fail the
sliders in my audit. I know this type of issue will be fleshed out
once there's an increased uptake of 2.1, but in the meantime I might
pass these sliders and the next auditor might fail them, and there's
no right answer.

Organisations understandably express frustration when they get two
different results from two auditors. WCAG feels like a black art
sometimes. The fact that it exists is a huge positive, but
interpreting it can be so difficult on occasion.
