Is there any spec violation for icons not having sufficient contrast? I feel like there should be, but all I've ever seen for color contrast has been in relation to text
Can Firefox users, esp at least one on Mac, click the audio captcha here and get a sound? (after clicking Register)? I'm thinking no firefoxes can play this sound but don't have enough to check
Has anyone here seen responsive font sizes they thought really worked on a site? Particularly, I’m looking for examples that honored the operating system’s current font size for improved accessibility. Here’s a brief introduction I just wrote up: http://codepen.io/jonneal/details/pbzGEp/
About icons and contrast. It is pretty much recognized that this is a gap in wcag. There is nothing which requires it. Of course to make something accessible you need good contrast.
[ellyjones] I found out yesterday that the UI toolkit we're using automatically prevents you from putting text on a colored background if the contrast ratio between them isn't high enough
[ellyjones] bah, one of my coworkers points out that implementing that feature ("readable text") in the UI toolkit is very easy, because the text elements just contain a flat background color, but very hard on the web because there could be 900 billion semi-transparent CSS layers and transforms and whatnot causing a cat picture to appear immediately behind the right edge of the text
The details of the study would have to say the strength of the signals, the distances from skin, and any measurable tempurature differences (although I'm betting you can get a few tumours without regularly measuring a significant difference in heat)
Right - but the intensity / amplitude of the signal is lower than visible light, which means that going outside (ew gross where is my internet) is more damaging
So ES6 "classes" are just objects stuffed with the two function types we normally may use to give a new thing someone else's prototype. Sheesh.
"As it happens, the control group rats actually had lower survival rates at the end of the two-year study than those exposed to the radiation—the researchers said it was possible this could have had an effect on the comparison between exposed and non-exposed rats, if the tumors in question are late-developing."
[ellyjones] agh, someone did this bit of UI ignoring our normal UI toolkits, but instead by just drawing the pixels directly... so as a result it's totally invisible to VoiceOver and keyboard access
[ellyjones] "Why??" "didn't want the overhead of making a full control"
older mobile devices that use custom browsers for things like samsung, htc, etc rarely get updated. But newer mobile devices are supposed to be updating the webview from the play store. That said ... I am not seeing that personally with my Samsung "Internet browser for Android", though others seem to be on higher branches
Our architect asked 'well how often do people try to use our stuff with JS off?" and I'm like, nobody! Because all that text-based coursework and text-based submit-to-server forms are completely broken without Javascript! because you deliberately coded it to break
Pearson's also ignoring all the mobile browsers in the "growth" parts of the world
