My day hasn't been particularly great today, but now I can't stop smiling. 🥹

I received such beautiful feedback to my course it has absolutely made my day.

Thank you @Augenfeind

🧵 Story time:

A group of men stood gazing at a mountain across from them.

Someone in the group asked the others: "What do you see?"

Today, Manuel published a followup saying that many responded and "the overwhelming majority suggested Practical Accessibility" 🫶🏻

Manuel enrolled in the course 🥳 and he encourages you to join too if you want to invest into getting better at accessibility:

Two days ago, Manuel Moreale (who's not on social media and for which I envy him) blogged asking for recommendations for "the best course to deepen [his] knowledge of web accessibility":

#a11y

Periodic reminder that "wrapping the <label> around the <input> is fine, and is sufficient for conformance on its own, however adding explicit association with` for` and `id` is still necessary in practice."

Details: https://www.tpgi.com/should-form-labels-be-wrapped-or-separate/


"Both Dragon Naturally Speaking for Windows, and Voice Control for macOS and iOS, don’t recognize implicit association, so the Click email address command wouldn’t work." @siblingpastry

#a11y #HTML

Should form labels be wrapped or separate? - TPGi

Is it strictly necessary for form fields and labels to have for/id association, or is it enough to wrap the label around the input?

TPGi
Oh, come on. 😭

Wait... What?

Could X get any more brazen? This is a whole new level of nonsense.

@yatil shortly after I finished recording a 7-minute video. Right outside my office window. This is my neighbor.

A small but helpful change I just made to the #PracticalA11y course website is replacing the typical “Skip to main content” skip link with two more helpful ones:

• Skip to video
• Skip to transcript

If you navigate using a keyboard, you can more quickly skip to the chapter format that you prefer. ⏬
