Table Refresh Delay

  • 1.  Table Refresh Delay

    Posted 07-12-2008 15:53 
    Can someone from the TC please tell me the units for: <table:refresh-delay> ?

    
Is this in seconds? This is very important for accessibility as if it is less than a second then there is a potential to cause seizures.

    
Whatever the answer, would someone please update the specification to reflect the actual units?

    
Thank you,
    
Rich

    table:refresh-delay is typed xsd:duration, which uses
ISO 8601 format time durations.  So the units will be specified in
the attribute value.

    For example "PT10S" would be 10 seconds.
 "PT0.5S" would be 1/2 second.  "PT1H30M"
would be 1 hour 30 minutes.

    The resolution required by XML Schema Datatypes for
a "minimally conforming processor" is millisecond resolution.

    So the notation certainly allows specification of
sub-second updates.
