Your daily frequent11y newsletter, brought to you by @ChrisBAshton:
Legacy Applications and Accessibility
- A deque.com blog post describing approaches to finding accessibility issues in legacy code; for example, scanning the codebase for positive tab index values (
tabindex="1"
etc). An interesting idea is an ‘accessibility JavaScript file’ that you can include on pages to help fix a11y issues without having to modify the legacy code. For example,var contButton = document.getElementById('continue'); if (contButton) { contButton.setAttribute('role', 'button'); // etc }
.
