1.2.5: Adversarial Conformance

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…

Automated WCAG Testing Is Grrreat!

I’m a big fan of using automation in WCAG testing. I use bookmarklets, dev tools, browser features & reporting, and a pile of third-party products from assorted vendors. These save me time and effort, letting me focus on more tricky cases. But… Unfortunately, the marketing machines of some vendors seem…

1.4.10: Adversarial Conformance

I made a demo for WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 1.4.10 Reflow AA and have embedded it further down the page. Unfortunately it assumes you have the font Impact installed, though in no way does that affect what this post covers. Conformance Success Criterion 1.4.10 Reflow AA without the Notes: Content…

2.5.8: Adversarial Conformance

I made a demo for WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 2.5.8 Target Size (Minimum) AA and have embedded it further down the page. Unfortunately it is going to be annoying for you, dear reader, as it steals focus. Conformance Success Criterion 2.5.8 Target Size (Minimum) AA with only the first two…

2.4.11: Adversarial Conformance

I made a demo for WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 2.4.11 Focus Not Obscured (Minimum). I built it strictly to capture screenshots, so while it is not a good demo as a standalone (which is why it is not embedded here I added it) it is handy to demonstrate something. Conformance…

Obligatory WCAG 2.2 Launch Post

It seems everybody who dabbles in digital accessibility is blogging about WCAG 2.2 now that it finally went live. This is my obligatory post, but I am not promoting it because there is already so much noise and much of the content is regurgitated. If you are not aware, WCAG…

CSS-only Widgets Are Inaccessible

Usually. I originally titled this InacCSS-onlyible. I even made this typographically, er, distinct image. Then I realized it was silly and will instead use the neologism in a talk so I can hear the groans IRL. Interactive widgets powered with only CSS are relatively common as people are playing with…

Comparing Manual and Free Automated WCAG Reviews

Automated accessibility testing tools cannot test 100% of WCAG. This position is not controversial. Other than overlay vendors, no automated tool maker makes that claim. This is partly because WCAG is targeted at humans, not code, and so nuance and context apply. Free automated accessibility testing tools may have even…
