This time I heard something that I didn’t expect so I decided to research a little bit more about it.
Steps 21-30, 31-40
placeholder
may not be a good practice from an accessibility point of view since users could believe that a field is already filled or prepopulated and they may submit the form without filling some fields.label
s should be the only ones describing an element:
<label for="name">Name:</label>
<input id="name" type="text" placeholder="Cristhian Motoche" />
- CSS plays an important role in accessibility, too. For example:
- It could hide some text that can be read only by assistive techonologies.
<style>
#dob {
display: none;
}</style>
<label for="name">D.O.B. <p id="dob">(Date of birth)</p>:</label>
<input id="name" type="text" />
- The
before
pseudo-element along withcontent:
to dinamically generate numerated content
<style>
:before {
pcontent: 'Question #';
}</style>
<p></p>
<p></p>
Spets 40 to the end
The fifth video presents some of the things that we already learn and it seems the last video in the playlist is missing. Therefore, I would consider this playlist done! I learned a very little bit of accessibility so I plan to keep learning more about it in another ocassion. Now, what I want to do next is schedule and organize the things to learn on each month of this year rather than taking a topic randomly.
