Things I’ve Learned
There are many things I have learned over the last few years in web design and development.Here are four examples that I created exaple pages over the last few months.
- The first example is one way to create an accessible table. This table example page contains an accessible table, Microformatted hCard, and a JavaScript function tha I found tha twill allow you to sort and re-sort table information without going back to the server.
- The next one is to show that you can use UL or OL list for to group FORM INPUT fields, so a screen reader will state that there are X number of inputs in a given FORM or section of the FORM.
- A few months ago I built a FORM that lets screen readers hear the word “Required”, but not show it visually to a browser. Here is the exmaple of another accessible FORM. It also show how to put the field formatting as part of the LABEL and have it inside the FORM field.
- Finally, I created an example of the new CSS3 property called “say-instead”, which is used to allow screen readers to pronounce words or phrases correctly.You willneed a screen reader to listen to this page. I recommend using the FREE “Fire Vox” extension for Firefox.
