    [ugi] @indrekpaas nope. th, td, tr, tfooter, theader, tbody will all inherit the role. But, if you place another table inside that table without the role, its children will be exposed to screen readers.

    [michael_lockrey] It's not as accessible as AccessibilityOz's video player skin - which you can embed with a separate audio description track, there's better colour contrast, etc etc...

    So YouTube is still a bit behind the A11y game...

    The beauty of the AccessibilityOz solution is that it's just a skin, you can still retrofit it over a video hosted on YouTube...
    Quick question: are youtube embeds anno 2017 accessible or are there technical issues? In other words is a custom player still needed?

    @zakim-robot I have one youtube embed that i can access, except for the first button being unlabelled so screen reader users don't know what the button does. The rest of the controls as usual don't come up until after the user has pressed the unlabelled button.
  5. but those are labelled and accessible

    [ted_drake] Hi all, I noticed a lack of channels regarding the deaf community, so I created #deaf

    [tessenate] What’s the best way to implement nested checkboxes? e.g. 

    [ ] Parent choice 1   [ ] Subchoice 1   [ ] Subchoice 2   [ ] Subchoice 3 [X] Parent Choice 2   [X] Subchoice 1   [ ] Subchoice 2

    Right now we have nested fieldsets (which I know is wrong, but easiest to implement with our current component architecture).
