Why use Able Player instead of video? - Joe Dolson Web Accessibility https://www.joedolson.com/2025/07/why-use-able-player-instead-of-video/ #video #webdev #a11y #accessibility #html #webdevelopment
One-time code forms are often split-up into multiple inputs, one per digit. From a UX perspective, what's the benefit of doing that? Why not just use one input?
For example: https://www.chakra-ui.com/docs/components/pin-input
A lot of banks and financial institutions use this pattern,but also scramble things up.
For example, they'll ask for digits 4, 1 and 3 from a PIN, plus characters 2, 8 and 13 from your password.
In my opinion this fails WCAG SC 3.3.8 https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/#accessible-authentication-minimum but I'm not aware of anyone having challenged it.
Wow! You know that #Web#Tech is getting really good when you are able to replace significant amounts of #JavaScript with a few lines of #HTML and #CSS. Best part is the fact that you get #a11y out of the box with native widgets 🙌
A few examples: <dialog closedby="any">, stylable <select> and even HTML autocomplete/typeahead using the <datalist>.

I wrote a thing about text alternatives.
It’s about more than alt text.
I hope it helps some folks.

My eyes are so itchy and watery (presumably due to seasonal allergies) that I haven't been able to get much work done in the past few days. I'm writing this toot with my eyes closed most of the time. 😑
Dear #accessibility hivemind, is there an easy way to have #Orca working with a natural-sounding text-to-speech voice, that is not eSpeak, but rather something like #MyCroft's Mimic3 ?
What's the state of the art for screenreader TTS voices on #Linux and how do I get it in #Fedora?

A button with a verb label (e.g. "Follow") that, after the button was pressed, changes to an adjective describing the status (e.g. "Following"), rather than being explicit about the action it'll perform when pressed again (e.g. "Unfollow").
Do you find this problematic in practice?
