    [svinkle] Hey @ziyad_alotaibe! I don’t see a channel specifically for Java. Are you able to create one? If so, go for it! Or, you could ask your question here as this is where most folks hangout anyway. :)

    [marcysutton] Do you love inert as much as I do? Vote for it in Microsoft Edge so we can gain momentum in browsers =D https://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/257854-microsoft-edge-developer/suggestions/31606522-support-the-inert-attribute
  7. [eric] I learned about that on Saturday! So cool!
  8. [tink] ThanksMarcy. Done.
  9. [marcysutton] Patrick Kettner asked what was necessary to manage tabindex in an A11yCamp session, so I launched into it without holding back knowing we had a technical group in the room. He suggested asking them for inert on uservoice, so voila!

    [tink] It'd be good to get another browser implementation of @inert
  11. [eric] it’d also make for a fantastic styling hook
  12. [marcysutton] yes absolutely! on all fronts
  13. [alexcarpenter] Love the inert attribute, I have been using it on a couple of projects with the wicg-inert polyfill https://github.com/WICG/inert

    [svinkle] @alexcarpenter How did you find the implementation of the polyfill? Easy going? I’ve yet to try it out.
  15. [vyku] so I have a button and aria label with a edit field and when there is a error message on edit field Screen reader NVDA does not read the ARIA label of the button when focus moves there. Weird thing is when i turned on the NVDA speech viewer I see the ARIA label of the button but not hearing is. Not sure what causes this and how to fix it

    [higley] @marcysutton inert came up on Saturday in Matt's session on future-proofing the web as well. Apparently it was popular =D
  17. [svinkle] @vyku Could you place your code somewhere to try it out, perhaps CodePen? Would help in order to try and debug what you’re experiencing.

    [marcysutton] Hi a11y Slackers, I made a change today to limit who can install apps in here. If there's something you want or need to install, let me know.

    [claymiller] Hi! :wave: I’m trying to determine whether Firefox supports an equivalent to Edge’s -ms-high-contrast media feature. Does anyone know where I could find the answer? Thanks!
