Comment on Making data visualizations accessible by Ricky Onsman

If the table is keyboard accessible and there is information to convey the data relationships, then that’s sufficient as an alternative.

If data are available in a tabular format, can I forget the keyboard support when hovering data points?

The first three examples for “Consequent failures” also fail 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value, as the input has no accessible name.

In reply to Chas Belov.

Thanks, Chas. I really tried to focus on the main issue of not relying on color alone, which is why I advised using a minus OR parentheses to indicate a negative number, and I didn’t specify a shade of red to be used – as I’m sure you’re aware, #EB0000 on a white background does conform. The main point is not to rely on color alone, no matter what the color.

This article was quite helpful and I learned a lot. You covered issues I didn’t even know exist. That said, with regard to negative numbers, not all screen readers read parentheses aloud, and #ff0000 red on a white background is not WCAG 2.0 AA accessible for contrast; please consider updating your article.

That’s a very nice gadget, which belongs as a bookmarklet, or better still, as a tab in the browser dev tools.

Comment on How you as a site author can help comprehension by Andrew Arch

Yes, as you say, Plain Language isn’t even always plain! Regarding “The part of the street next to the road where people walk”, in Melbourne Australia we call that a ‘footpath’.

Comment on Accessibility testing as a screen reader user by Raghavendra Satish Peri

Thanks for the wonderful article! Being a screen reader user myself there are some learnings that I am taking away from here. I never knew about the screenshot feature & I am doing to give it a try. The other techniques that are laid out are also very good & will come in handy for my next assessment. I also sometimes rely on my sighted friends to get few things done during an assessment. I hope to go through your doc & will get more insights from it.

I fully endorse this little tool and I think it would be a great addition to any browser’s dev tools. I wish I could use it to decrapulate more things in my life than just code!
