[pluma] Is there a reference implementation for a selectbox replacement? I'm trying to implement a selectbox-like widget in React and all I can find is this combobox: http://oaa-accessibility.org/example/12/
[pluma]@car Thanks. I think I'll use https://github.com/JedWatson/react-select for the time being. I can't vouch for its a11y claims but it's possible to disable search and clearing, so it's a good stopgap for now.
[seankeegan]@pluma our devs just started playing with http://react-autosuggest.js.org/ Initial pass looked good; only tested with NVDA+FF. Might need touch more work on a11y, but seems like good starting point.
[callumacrae] does anyone have any examples of a website that is impossible to search when using a screen reader? I used to use laravel.com but they fixed it!
[callumacrae] It was impossible to search because you can't press enter to search, it uses AJAX, and when you moved the focus to the next element to get the screen reader to read it out, it would close the search results
[ghanek] Can anyone share accessible techniques/recommendations for detecting phishing emails that do NOT rely on using a mouse?
[ghanek] We were thinking of both those folks with visual impairment and those with physical impairments who can’t hover a mouse over links in emails to see the link’s URL.
