🗓️ Day №22 in Manuel Matuzović’s #HTMHellAdventCalendar 2024 is “PSA: Stop using the title attribute as tooltip!” by Daniela Kubesch. htmhell.dev/adventcalendar…

Daniela Kubesch (@dnikub) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Images, text, buttons, and more — devs love to add the title attribute to any element in sight, in 99% of cases to create a tooltip. The issue is that the title attribute isn't accessible. But don't worry, the HTML popover attribute has got you covered! 🔗htmhell.dev/adventcalendar…

While auditing different sites this year, I've found that a description list (<dl>) would have been a good fit multiple times. It's nice to see a short post about it by David Luhr, as it is indeed highly underrated! htmhell.dev/adventcalendar…

No “year in review” post from me this time, as a broken pipe in my apartment literally lets me slide into the next year 🥴 no need to wish me a „Guten Rutsch“ for NYE (aka. a good slide into the new year), as we do in Austria haha

“I implemented an image that uses onClick, but now I realise that there needs to be a button cause some users can't access it. It also needs an accessible name. I must change that.” I'm so glad my students are relearning HTML while realising the impact their code can have.

This is definitely an implementation of a search button I've never seen before… I have so many questions, primarily WHY 🥴

In terms of #email #accessibility is it still necessary to add role=presentation to every table, tr and td element, as adding it to the table element alone is not enough, especially for #ScreenReaders and old email clients? 🤔

Working in #a11y means spending an afternoon writing tickets explaining why a <div> with only an onClick listener is not automatically a button and how wrapping an <a> element without a href attribute in a <form> is not good either. 🤷‍♀️

I forgot to post this yesterday as I was already too busy reading the book I was gifted with, but feliç diada de Sant Jordi to all those who are celebrating! 🌹📚

I accidentally got a sunburn yesterday, and today it's heavily raining and cold. I'm really unsure what to pack for my trip to #BTConf as the weather forecast for Germany is also a bit unpredictable these days. 😅

This slide of Léonie Watson’s talk has to be my favourite of the whole conference already, as it perfectly visualises what I often think in my head in my daily work as an accessibility engineer 😅

Matthias Ott talk covered so many interesting options for painting on the web. 🤯 For example, fluid web typography (using clamp()), colour space options (using oklch()) and the power of CSS grid. So inspiring, I want to rewrite my website right now and try them all out.

Let devs design and let designers code. It is about not being put into boxes. It is about looking beyond the tellerrand. – Matthias Ott at #BTConf

It's almost time for Global Accessibility Awareness Day and I can finally share my thesis in an accessible format — for everyone to read 🎉 It took a year, but I managed to create a website with an #accessible version of the 160-pages thesis on #overlays: overlays.dnikub.dev

On July 2, I will be at the #DWX2025 in Mannheim! 📷 Once again, I will be on stage talking about the impact of #accessibility overlays on the #usability and #UserExperience of people with permanent visual impairments. Hope to see you there!

I love clients who ensure that their disabled buttons have sufficient colour contrast, while also working to remove the anti-pattern of disabled buttons from their websites altogether ❤️‍🔥

I'm on my way to #DWX2025, swapping the heat of Barcelona for what appears to be the heat of Mannheim😄 I'm looking forward to the speaker dinner tonight, and to taking to the stage at 16:00 on 2 July! 🎙️ If you see me, please come and say hello and grab your CAAT button! 🐱
