ARIA-Expanded - Enhancing Accessibility with State Information
ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes help enhance accessibility for web applications. One such attribute is `aria-expanded`. This attribute is crucial for users relying on assistive technologies, providing them with important information about the state of UI components that can expand or collapse content.
What are Advisory Techniques in WCAG?
Advisory techniques in WCAG are suggested practices that can enhance the accessibility of web content but are not required to meet WCAG conformance levels (A, AA, AAA). These techniques go beyond the minimum requirements and offer additional ways to improve the user experience for people with disabilities.
Working with Character Key Shortcuts
Single-character shortcuts can conflict with assistive technologies, such as screen readers, or can be accidentally activated, causing confusion or unintended actions. By providing users with control over these shortcuts, we can improve the accessibility and usability of web content for all users.
Sufficient Techniques in WCAG
Sufficient techniques are specific actions that, when correctly implemented, fulfill the requirements of WCAG success criteria. These techniques are essential for achieving at least the minimum level of accessibility (Level A) and are recommended for higher levels of accessibility (Level AA and AAA).
Understanding Tabindex in Web Accessibility
Proper use of `tabindex` is essential for creating accessible web content. Misusing `tabindex` can lead to a confusing and frustrating experience for users who rely on keyboard navigation, including those with disabilities. According to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, ensuring a logical and intuitive navigation order is crucial for accessibility.
