    These are always so complex for the end user. I need a solution that is super simple and flags headings out of order, click here and more info text, and missing alt tags. People at most orgs barely know the basics. Devs should already be addressing the technical stuff.

    I do regular remediation for Divi sites and have emailed Elegant Themes support and even emailed one of their lead Developers (friend of a friend) and they (ET) basically are not interested in accessibility. Too bad, but it does keep me busy 🙂 These are great resources that Renee has shared with the community. Thank you!

    • @EqualizeDigital
      @EqualizeDigital 3 місяці тому

      Pause on hover would require additional work because you would need to set it to pause on hover, change the button toggled state and text to reflect that it paused and then remove that action that unpauses the video on mouse off (because otherwise, it unpauses the video whenever you mouse off the video even if you have pressed the pause button).

    It was mentioned that the Max Mega Menu is mostly accessible... It does not work with the NVDA or Windows Narrator screen readers. I have communicated with the plugin developer, and they confirmed that they were only able to test with Mac Voiceover. In short, I would NOT recommend using Max Mega Menu for an accessible website.

    Hi Amber, Thanks for this video. I had a quick question when you ignore an Aria does that change the code on the website backend for screen readers?

    • @amber_hinds
      @amber_hinds Рік тому

      No, ignoring things does not change the code on the website. So aria-hidden="true" would still be present on the element. Rather the "ignore" is just a way to mark in the plugin that you have tested the element and determined that it's not actually a problem. If the aria-hidden attribute was causing a problem and needed to be removed, you would need to edit the source code. That would then make the warning go away on the next scan of that page.
