Resources

Use Firefox for accessibility testing

Firefox has become one of the best tools for accessibility audits. Let’s go over Firefox's accessibility features that you can use today.

What Does X% of Issues Mean?

If vendors are pitching based on their ability to catch X% of issues on a page, ask them to define "issues".

Abbreviations can be problematic

The best method for ensuring abbreviations are accessible is also the most simple.

Subheadings, subtitles, alternative titles and taglines in HTML

Until recently there was no dedicated method in HTML to identify content as a subheading, subtitle, alternative title or tagline. Now there is.

Research insight: accessibility of images

We often think of accessible images as having alt attributes with appropriate text descriptions for people who can not see or understand them. What gets overlooked is whether the visual content of the image is appropriate to the context of use for people with sight.

The Hidden History of Screen Readers

For decades, blind programmers have been creating the tools their community needs.

The Ballad of Text Overflow

Accessibility considerations for the text-overflow CSS property.

Quick Tip: Document and Content Language

The lang attribute in HTML should be used to identify the language of web pages and of other-language content within a web page. There are over 8,000 language codes, but in most cases it's best to use the most succinct value for a particular language - typically two characters (e.g., lang="en") is sufficient.
