Considering accessibility and the `<details>` elements: Is it okay to update the `<summary>` element on the fly based on the values of a nested form? And if yes, should this update be announced to screen readers? I've been trying to research this but my search result only return auto-generated garbage 😔

I'm pondering product cards and WCAG 2.2 criteria 1.4.1 (use of colour).

In this example, which is quite common, there is a product (a t-shirt) and in the card 3 colour variations are indicated by small circular images.

Hi guys, I'm a totally #Blind woman interested in learning French to start with. In coming back to #Duolingo, I found that the first thing you have to do right off the bat is "choose the correct image". You can choose based on the audio you are hearing, absolutely, but you have no way of actually knowing what the so-called correct image actually is, making it pretty much impossible from an accessibility standpoint to know what words are being introduced and/or what they mean in English. Does anyone know of a good language learning app that is actually accessible? #A11y #technology #Language #French #Learning #Screenreader

It’s been a while — hard to find time to work on the theme, but here’s a quick update:
Blog cards are done, archive and page templates mostly finished.

Some links lead to different HTML templates.
Will be turned into a full PHP-based WordPress theme.

I understand Kevin Powell referenced my 2020 post “Alternative Text for CSS Generated Content” in his video on what’s new with CSS and that he deferred to my testing results. My December 2024 update is the most recent:

TL;DR: Use `<img>` for icons & similar, but for non-interactive decorative contexts that don’t need auto-translation, then alternative text on CSS generated content can get the job done.

Adrian Roselli · Alternative Text for CSS Generated ContentAs of December 2024, you should prefer using <img> for icons and the like, but for non-interactive decorative contexts that don’t need auto-translation, then alternative text on CSS generated content can get the job done.
