Why you should hire a front-end developer

26.8.2020
Matt Hobbs says you should hire a front-end developer because… “A front-end developer is the best person to champion accessibility best practices in product teams.” “80-90% of the end-user response time is spent on the front end.” “A front-end developer takes pressure...

To grid or not to grid

20.8.2020
Sarah Higley does accessibility work and finds that “tables and grids are over-represented in accessibility bugs.” The drum has been banged a million times: don’t use a <table> for layout. But what goes around comes around. What’s the the #1 item in a list...

Nailing the Perfect Contrast Between Light Text and a Background Image

7.8.2020
Have you ever come across a site where light text is sitting on a light background image? If you have, you’ll know how difficult that is to read. A popular way to avoid that is to use a transparent overlay. But this leads to an important question: Just how transparent should that overlay...

HTML for Subheadings and Headings

6.8.2020
Let’s say you have a double heading situation going on. A little one on top of a big one. It comes up, I dunno, a billion times a day, I’d say. What HTML do you go for? Dare I say, it depends? But have you considered all the options? And how those options play out semantically...

SVG Title vs. HTML Title Attribute

30.7.2020
You know the title attribute? I can do this: <div title="The Title"I'm a div with a `title` </div And now if I’m on a device with a mouse pointer and hover the cursor over that element, I get… Which, uh, I guess is something. I sometimes use it for things like putting...

Position Vertical Scrollbars on Opposite Side with CSS

23.7.2020
Fair warning: I can’t say I recommend this in general because it breaks a very strong expectation of where scrollbars are, which are useful for a lots of folks, not to mention, a core accessibility feature for many. But it is a fascinating CSS trick and the web is a big place with...

LingoJam

17.6.2020
I’ll sometimes search the web for something like “Small Text Generator” knowing there will be some website that will turn some dumb thing I want to type like: Uhm hi when is that meeting again? into something fun like… ᵁʰᵐ ʰᶦ ʷʰᵉⁿ ᶦˢ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ᵐᵉᵉᵗᶦⁿᵍ ᵃᵍᵃᶦⁿˀ Important note about...

Striking a Balance Between Native and Custom Select Elements

12.6.2020
Here’s the plan! We’re going to build a styled select element. Not just the outside, but the inside too. Total styling control. Plus we’re going to make it accessible. We’re not going to try to replicate everything that the browser does by default with a native <select> element. We’re going...

Behind the Source: Cassie Evans

3.6.2020
I feel like the tech industry takes itself far too seriously sometimes. I get frustrated by all the posturing and gatekeeping – “You’re not a real developer unless you use x framework”, “CSS isn’t a real programming language”. I think this kind of rhetoric often puts new developers off,...

Chrome 83 Form Element Styles

3.6.2020
There have been some aesthetic changes to what form elements look like as of Chrome 83. Anything with gradient colorization is gone (notably the extra-shiny <meter stuff). The consistency across the board is nice, particularly between inputs and textareas. Not a big fan of the new <select...

Block Links: The Search for a Perfect Solution

25.5.2020
I was reading this article by Chris where he talks about block links — you know, like wrapping an entire card element inside an anchor — being a bad idea. It’s bad accessibility because of how it affects screen readers. And it’s bad UX because it prevents simple user tasks, like selecting text. But...

Creating an Accessible Range Slider with CSS

7.5.2020
The accessibility trick is using <input type="range"> and wrestling it into shape with CSS rather than giving up and re-building it with divs or whatever and later forget about accessibility. The most clever example uses an angled linear-gradient background making the input look like...
