Me and a friend both received a survey from a blindness-centric organization about the accessibility of technology, with gems like the following in it: : heading level 2 heading level 1 Please select the font size you would like to take this survey in. clickable <span style="font-size: 18px;">Font Size 18 Pixels</span> clickable Font Size 18 Pixels clickable Font Size 20 Pixel clickable Font Size 22 Pixel clickable Font Size 24 Pixel clickable Font Size 26 Pixel clickable Font Size 28 Pixel clickable Not applicable button Previous button Next. I assume the span denotes what you selected, but when clicking on any of them, it disappears, and I have no indication of what I selected. In addition, the edit fields, don't even show as edit fields, alongside many other issues. I spent a few minutes in the dev console looking around and it looks like a Greasemonkey script may be one of the only ways to salvage it. This, from a company that actively employs blind people. #EpicFail
@TheQuinbox When you finish the survey, you get a page that refreshes every 5 seconds with the words "You have already completed the survey!" If you move NVDA to that area, it will repeat it every single time it refreshes.
@TheQuinbox I thought that this survey was done by a completely separate company than the one that sent the Email yesterday. That still means everyone involved should have at least glanced at it with a screen reader for god sake. I can't even imagine how jaws deals with it.
@TheQuinbox I mean, people will rightfully focus on the screen reader accessibility issues here. But there's also plenty to unpack around how they think a web page needs controls for functionality the browser already provides, like font size.
