An overview of accessible web applications and widgets - Accessibility | MDN

Most JavaScript libraries offer a library of client-side widgets that mimic the behavior of familiar desktop interfaces. Sliders, menu bars, file list views, and more can be built with a combination of JavaScript, CSS, and HTML.

Calling all #WordPress users, especially those passionate about #Accessibility! I need advice: My current contact form on this page of my #Website (laniecarmelo.tech/connect-with…) is very basic. I'm using WPForms Lite, but improving it would require manually adding fields since advanced features are locked behind their premium plan.

I’ve tried the Fluent Forms plugin, but I didn’t find it accessible. Can anyone recommend a free, #Accessible contact form plugin that allows for creating more robust forms? Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Images without text alternatives is a huge problem. The issue is magnified when the image is a link. Realize that screen reader users receive no valuable information when the image wrapped with a link is missing a text alternative.

Ensure that all images, including those that act as link, provide appropriate text alternatives.

I am currently working on #accessibility in #forgejo. And I discovered a problem with focus where it is not possible to navigate the page with "tab", a dropdown makes the focus skip to the end of the page and you end up in a loop.

Can someone recommend ways or tools to debug focus in webbrowsers? I have a hard time to see how the focus skips there. Any hints are welcome.

Thank you.
