How I Evaluate an ACR (VPAT®)

ACRs are Accessibility Conformance Reports, which are the output of a VPAT, or Voluntary Product Accessibility Template maintained by ITIC, or the Information Technology Industry Council (which is why VPAT often has a ® symbol hanging off it). An organization may fill out the template to indicate how or if…

The Value of Selecting Selects by Value

This is meant to use voice control to test select menus (and other fields, but the title would be less weird) by their value because their accessible names are hidden. I’m sharing results of that testing. This was partially driven by: WCAG issue #3808 SC 3.3.2: Labels or Instructions and…

OpenAI, ARIA, and SEO: Making the Web Worse

OpenAI has announced it’s launched a new browser, Atlas, with ChatGPT built in. For those familiar with ARIA, OpenAI outlines what to expect (I left the code as I found it, other than removing the target): We’ll continue to make Atlas better, and our roadmap includes multi-profile support, improved developer…

Custom Carets and Users: When The Caret Is No Longer a Stick (Yes, That’s a Poor Attempt at a Pun)

I made a demo for WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 1.2.5 Audio Description (Prerecorded) AA and have embedded it further down the page. It’s a bit of a download, so either ignore it, be patient, or steal wifi from your local chain restaurant. Conformance Success Criterion 1.2.5 Audio Description (Prerecorded) AA…

#Accesstive Will Get You Sued

I can’t actually assert the Accesstive overlay will result in a lawsuit, though there is a trend of overlays attracting lawsuits. Attorneys say overlays don’t protect from lawsuits, either. Regardless of the company making it, if you wonder if you should use an accessibility overlay, the answer is no. Accesstive’s…

Check / Uncheck all in a Table

TL;DR: Unless you have user testing results saying otherwise, maybe put a check-all checkbox outside the table. The rest of this post is an awkward mash-up of my posts Don’t Turn a Table into an ARIA Grid Just for a Clickable Row and Check-All / Expand-All Controls with a little…

Tweaking Text Level Styles, Reprised

In 2017 I wrote Tweaking Text Level Styles (terrible name in retrospect) and I made regular updates over the years. Stop reading it. Remove it from your bookmarks. Unlink it from your posts. Print it onto paper and then burn it. Demo <mark> <del> <ins> <s> Wrap-up The conclusions and…
