    [marcysutton] Edge is the only one as far as I know.
  2. [eric] @claymiller it does not
  3. [eric] oop, double post!
  4. [eric] there is an upcoming light level media query that has been discussed as a potential compliment to High Contrast Mode, here’s more info if you’re interested: https://drafts.csswg.org/mediaqueries-5/#mf-environment
  5. [claymiller] Awesome, thanks y’all!

    Does Google auto-generate captions for YouTube, or do you need to tell it to generate them?

    [marcysutton] It used to, but last I checked it didn't anymore and you have to generate them. They did make a tool that auto-pauses when you stop typing but it takes a lot longer than auto-generating and correcting the mistakes

    My boss got a kick out of some content we got from a client that has an embededded Vimeo video (with no captions), and then after it has link to a transcript. If you download the transcript it ends with a link to YouTube version of the video ... which has captions ... I'm wondering if the client made captions on YouTube and forgot about the Vimeo version, or if Google did it for them.
  9. Okay, so Google may have made it for them based on the time ...

    [vavroom] @powrsurg if the video on Vimeo is older, it's highly possible it was uploaded before Vimeo allowed captions.

    [ghanek] Interesting study reports how more than half of all college students (not just those who reported having a disability) are using Closed Captions (when available). https://er.educause.edu/articles/2017/8/a-rising-tide-how-closed-captions-can-benefit-all-students

    [chris__pearce] Hey guys, I was doing some testing on a set of radio buttons and noticed that only Chrome allowed the use of left/right arrow keys to navigate between them, testing on Firefox and Safari this isn’t the case, I’m on latest OSX. To eliminate my code I tested MDN’s example: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/radio#Using_radio_button_inputs and got the same experience. I thought all browsers handled this the same and without this how do keyboard users navigate a set of radio buttons? Is it a settings thing?
  14. [alexlande] arrow keys work for me in safari, but you have to tab to select the radio buttons, can’t click on them first
  15. [alexlande] which is very odd. Seems like clicking on them in Safari doesn’t trigger focus on the input

    [ghanek] You have to change the Full Keyboard Access setting in OSX.

    [quidkid] hey guys! from a SR report, I’m getting an issue with the svgs in the youtube player being focusable in JAWS + IE. Given that this was an embedded iframe and i can’t directly put focusable=false on the svgs, is it possible to do something like $(“iframe”).bind(“load”, function() {…}); ?
