The Deal with the Section Element

15.1.2020
Two articles published the exact same day: Bruce Lawson on Smashing Magazine: Why You Should Choose HTML5 <article> Over <section> Adam Laki on Pine: The Difference Between <section> and <div> Element They are comparing slightly different things, but they both...

Debunking the Myth: Accessibility and React

15.1.2020
I find it notable when the blog of a major accessibility-focused company like Deque publishes an article called Debunking the Myth: Accessibility and React. Mark Steadman is essentially saying if a site has bad accessibility, it ain't React... it's you. The tools are there to achieve good...

A Whole Bunch of Places to Consider Contrast in a Single Paragraph

23.12.2019
When we're thinking about choosing colors in design, we're always thinking about accessibility. Whenever colors touch, there is contrast and, if we're talking about the color contrast of text, it needs to be high enough to be readable. This benefits people with a variety of visual disabilities,...

WhoCanUse

4.12.2019
There are loads of microsites and developer tools for looking at color accessibility, including tools built right into browser DevTools. They often show you if a color passes AA or AAA WCAG guidelines. But color contrast is more complicated than that because there is a wide variety of vision...

Having a Little Fun With Custom Focus Styles

2.12.2019
Every front-end developer has dealt or will deal with this scenario: your boss, client or designer thinks the outline applied by browsers on focused elements does not match the UI, and asks you to remove it. Or you might even be looking to remove it yourself. So you do a little research and find...

Why Are Accessible Websites so Hard to Build?

23.10.2019
I was chatting with some front-end folks the other day about why so many companies struggle at making accessible websites. Why are accessible websites so hard to build? We learn about HTML, we make sure things are semantic and — voila! @— we have an accessible website. During the course...

Designing accessible color systems

21.10.2019
The team at Stripe explores how they’re refining their color palette to make it more accessible and legible for users across all their products and interfaces. Not only that but the team built a wonderful and yet entirely bonkers app for figuring out the ideal range of colors that they needed. We...

Some Hands-On with the HTML Dialog Element

7.10.2019
This is me looking at the HTML <dialog> element for the first time. I've been aware of it for a while, but haven't taken it for a spin yet. It has some pretty cool and compelling features. I can't decide for you if you should use it in production on your sites, but I'd think it's starting...

Automated (and Guided!) Accessibility Audits with axe Pro

3.10.2019
It's important to know there are tools for automated accessibility testing of websites. They are a vital part in helping make sure your website is usable for everyone, which is both a noble goal and damn good for business. Automated tests won't catch every potential accessibility issue, but they...

Mina Markham Should Make Beyoncé’s Site Accessible

3.10.2019
I remember when this went around in January, and I'm a little shocked it didn't happen. Mina is the perfect person for the job (like, duh) and the result would be good for everyone. Let's make this happen. The least we can do is sign Amélie Lamont's petition. Direct Link to Article —...

Enhancing The Clickable Area Size

1.10.2019
Here’s a great post by Ahmad Shadeed on making sure that clickable areas in our interfaces are, well, clickable. He writes about making sure that links, buttons and other elements meet accessibility standards for both touch and mouse, too. I particularly like the section where Ahmad writes about...

Multi-Million Dollar HTML

30.9.2019
Two stories: Jason Grigsby finds Chipotle's online ordering form makes use of an input-masking technique that chops up a credit card expiration year making it invalid and thus denying the order. If pattern="\d\d" maxlength="2" was used instead (native browser feature), the browser is smart enough...

Table with Expando Rows

20.9.2019
"Expando Rows" is a concept where multiple related rows in a <table> are collapsed until you open them. You'd call that "progressive disclosure" in interaction design parlance. After all these years on CSS-Tricks, I have a little better eye for what the accessibility concerns of...

Need to scroll to the top of the page?

2.9.2019
Perhaps the easiest way to offer that to the user is a link that targets an ID on the <html> element. So like... <html id="top"> <body> <!-- the entire document --> <a href="#top">Jump to top of page</a> ...

Accessibility and web performance are not features, they’re the baseline

16.8.2019
This week I’ve been brooding about web performance and accessibility. It all began when Ethan Marcotte made a lot of great notes about the accessibility issues that are common with AMP: In the recordings above, I’m trying to navigate through the AMP Story. And as I do, VoiceOver describes a page...
