Caniuse: Group together accessibility related topics/features

Created on 22 May 2018  路  5Comments  路  Source: Fyrd/caniuse

Accessibility features are somewhat poorly documented as they pertain to use and browser support. It would be good if there was some link between accessibility related features/topics.

I found this page https://caniuse.com/#feat=wai-aria but it stands alone and there are no links to other features on caniuse. Right now #1240 and #1515 are discussing adding reports on speech and aural style sheets. Once they land the would be prime candidates for including in the notes section of the aria page.

Misc. sitdata request

Not anymore, thanks to https://a11ysupport.io/! (Adding the resource to the WAI-ARIA feature data in https://github.com/Fyrd/caniuse/pull/5601/commits/78a5c55b5e29347f110b367d3f5198a4ab115d7c.)

An important initiative.

Some more items to add to the accessibility 'bag':

  • This link is absolutely invaluable https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices-1.1/
  • Data on screenreader support for content() ???
  • @media screen or @media all is apparently the thing to use for screenreaders, rather than @media speech or @media aural (both of which appear to be deprecated). This is perhaps counter-intuitive, and not easy to discover.

Any idea how we might we add screenreaders to caniuse? They are not fully-fledged user agents, and yet...

No plans on including screen readers to caniuse, though there are efforts underway to create a caniuse-type site specific to accessibility, which I think is the appropriate way to go. When/if that happens caniuse support tables can link to that site as appropriate.

Thanks. If anyone involved in that caniuse-a11y effort reads this, please hook me in, so I can contribute.

I kind of disagree with this approach. It continues the idea that a11y isn't a part of every project. Either-way, please loop me in as well.
