    [fstorr] @cameron: I’m glad they put that in there but it’s oddly placed and feels buried. And also odd that the author emphasizes “always” but in the next paragraph carries on explaining how not to use a button.

    For anyone interested... A proposed set of elements and attributes for creating accordions/tabs/carousels in native HTML https://discourse.wicg.io/t/panels-and-panelsets/1184

    Guess the thinking behind it was to make it the main navigation or something.

    @MichielBijl If you get a chance to add your comments to the WICG discussion, that'd be really helpful. Thanks :)

    @StommePoes what's the worst that could happen?

    I just realized that the latest version of Firefox finally fixed the issue where form elements didn't have their borders displayed in High Contrast Mode

    Hey I saw a mention of a Firefox bug where in-browser alerts/confirms/prompts were not correctly read out by AT, but I checked myself with 41/42 and NVDA+JAWS and they seemed fine. Does anyone know this bug off the tops of their heads? I duckduckgo'd and googled for it but didn't seem to find one that wasn't about aria roles.
