Sigh. I have an invalid name. Talk about cancel-culture...
On top of that, it's a validation error, in English, lacking the correct lang attribute.
Oh, and it doesn't say why my name is invalid. Perhaps my name is just too good to be true.
When you click on the product card, you end up on a product page. On the product page, colour variations are also shown. This time there is some text, but only for the current choice.
The variations are hyperlinks, which dynamically change the product image and the text describing the colour. There is no text for the other colours.
Also a 1.4.1 fail?
I'm pondering product cards and WCAG 2.2 criteria 1.4.1 (use of colour).
In this example, which is quite common, there is a product (a t-shirt) and in the card 3 colour variations are indicated by small circular images.
There is no text describing those colours.
Fail of 1.4.1?
Whoops! Someone didn't know what they were doing here. A link where the only text inside the a-element is inside a div. The div has aria-label="false" as an atribute.
The result of this is that... "false" becomes the accessible name of the link.
(and there are a number of these instances on this page I'm checking!)

I'll miss it if they ever manage to start consistently getting it right.
I've been working on a new blog post.. an essay.
It's taken me waaaay to long to write, and of course, rather than just publish it, I've now spent waaay too long creating a few drawings to add to it.
Stubornly by hand, rejecting the concept of using certain popular tools to generate them...
Here's a tortoise.
Ah, the classic curly bracket mismatch.
Suffice to say, I'll be jumping on this offer.
A collaborative article on LinkedIn with a eyebrow raising title that's been pushed to me via notfications.
I don't know where to begin.
Well I do actually, I've begun by not even giving the question the time of day (on LinkedIn, I've moaned about it here instead!)
On multiple, unrelated websites, using GA4 I'm spotting some strange data.
On a single day (different for each site), for a few hours , of page views for / by around 70-80 "users", evenly split between Windows, Chrome OS, Linux and Mac, and from a set of 40ish countries.
None of these views have any custom dimensions or anything that I'd expect from a "real" visit (with GA4 loaded via GTM on the actual site).
Anyone got any guesses as to what's going on?
