Addressing Accessibility Concerns With Using Fluid Type — Smashing Magazine
The CSS `clamp()` function is often paired with viewport units for “fluid” font sizing that scales the text up and down at different viewport sizes. As common as this technique is, several voices warn that it opens up situations where text can fail WCAG Success Criterion 1.4.4, which specifies that text should scale up to at least 200% when the user’s browser reaches its 500% maximum zoom level. Max Barvian takes a deep look at the issue and offers ideas to help address it.
One of the most common accessibility issues I find (and fix) on client projects is dynamically disabled form buttons when a form is being submitted.
Today I want to talk about why developers do it, why it’s bad, and what you can do instead. Let’s dig in!
Why developers disable buttons Typically, I see the pattern used to prevent a form from being submitted a second time while waiting for the form is processed.
Sometimes, you want an list to be displayed in a line (like a nav menu) rather than vertically.ul class="list-inline" liMerlin/li liUrsula/li liRadagast/li /ul To do that, you typically set list-style to none, then style the list items with some padding in some way (using Flexbox or margins)..list-inline { list-style: none; margin-left: 0; /* This approach uses flexbox */ display: flex; align-items: center; column-gap: 1em; flex-wrap: wrap; } /* You could alternatively style the list items themselves This isn't needed if you use flexbox */ .
Conducting Mobile Accessibility Research with Screen-Reader Users
Use word of mouth to recruit research participants who rely on screen readers. Conduct the study in person to help participants feel comfortable, and plan to record the screen-reader output.
How long until your website is accessible? - Karl Groves
Are you prepared for it to take 7 months (or more) to make your website accessible? If you're like me, you don't go to the store until you're ready to buy something. There's a difference between window shopping and shopping, and I usually don't go into the store and look at specific products until I'm
