Thanks Carolyn, Rich, When I read "accessibleDocument" I was thinking of the work done by Cathy Laws back around 2005. I finally found that document at http://accessibility.linuxfoundation.org/a11yspecs/atspi/adoc/ADOC_ATK.html Is this what you were thinking of? If so please start up a new thread to discuss that.
By the way, ATK does have AtkDocument, documented at http://developer.gnome.org/atk/2.0/AtkDocument.html with these methods: atk_document_get_document_type atk_document_get_document atk_document_get_attribute_value atk_document_set_attribute_value atk_document_get_attributes atk_document_get_locale >From what I remember we didn't see a need for the first 4 methods. We put the last two into the IAccessible2 interface so at this point IA2 doesn't have an IAccessibleDocument interface. Jamie, In the bug at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617544 you proposed solving the problem with a new relation or a new accNavigate constant and in the new 1.3 document someone else, perhaps Alex, has proposed a new interface with one method, IAccessibleDocument::anchorTarget. (Perhaps that should have been currentAnchor?) Could the problem be solved with a new object attribute?
