Docked Sametime Buddy List

NOTE: This component is deprecated.

The docked sametime buddy list sits at the bottom of the window, in a fixed position.

Docked Sametime Buddy List

Classes

  • lotusFooterDocked - the class assigned to a wrapper div for the docked sametime buddy list.
  • lotusActionBar - this class wraps the list for positioning.
  • lotusInlinelist - the list that contains anchor tags as buttons.

Basic Implementation

Create a div and assign the class of lotusFooterDocked. Add a lotusActionBar div and inside that, then anchor buttons using an unordered list element.

IMPORTANT CODING NOTE: IE6 doesn't support fixed positioning so the docked footer needs to be positioned with javascript.

Accessibility

Put role="button" on the links in the docked sametime buddy list.

Put aria-haspopup="true" on the status link and aria-label="show menu" on the drop-down arrow.

Create alternate text ("Chat") for the chat icon when in high contrast mode.
