🤔 WCAG target size criterion question?

If an interactive control is nested in another interactive control (incorrectly)
e.g.
<button> touch me
<a href="#">🖐🏽 </a>
</button>

https://codepen.io/stevef/pen/NWoMeOM

When does it fail Success Criterion 2.5.8 Target Size (Minimum)?

If you're responsible for websites or apps in the #UK public sector, the clock is ticking down to the time when those services will need to conform to #WCAG 2.2 Level AA:

📌 Brushing up on WCAG as I am doing reviews (again) as part of my new job.

Have turned to @lloydi for the good oil on SC 1.4.11 Non-text Contrast

Hi, a few years ago I created this repo: https://github.com/notabene/wcag-process-matrix for a simple RACI-like matrix for WCAG 2.1.

I will soon delete it from Github, so if you want to fork it, please do so now.

RT at your leisure 😉

How to test 3.2.6 Consistent Help by @siblingpastry

“This SC does not require that such things be provided, only that if they are provided, they can be found in a consistent location. Whether this amounts to a direct mechanism (e.g., chat window), or direct information (e.g., phone number), or is just a link to another page on which those things can be found, is not significant…”

We're looking for an #accessibility SAAS product, not for overlays, but for 1) audits 2) accessibility certificates 3) legal rep for the client "just in case'' - we're aiming to start making sure all our sites are AA compliant, but can't assume the legal responsibility for it (we're a tiny studio) any recommendations would be appreciated!

I've mentioned text-only zoom (separate from browser zoom) in my last two articles, so I wanted to share a bookmarklet I created that helps me test text size! 🧪

This little tool can help you when checking for WCAG SC 1.4.4 Resize Text and 1.4.10 Reflow conformance.

Using a screen reader, observing “weird” patterns, and then finding WCAG issues to fail it under, is a very inefficient way to do accessibility audits.

And you get a lot of false fails with it, too.

@SteveFaulkner at #A11yTO explaining that the claim that Axe Core can catch about 60% of issues (twice the usual estimate for automated tools), is because they use a different metric - the total number of issues it can identify, not the total number of #WCAG SC it can check.

TIL about scroll-padding. I can't believe I didn't know about this before, because it's so very very useful when using a sticky header/footer. With those it's very easy for focused elements to be hidden behind the sticky element, and scroll-padding can help avoid that:

I made this WCAG 2.2 SC 2.4.11 Focus Not Obscured (Minimum) demo for a talk but did not use it:
https://codepen.io/aardrian/pen/xxmPXeY

I built it strictly to capture screenshots (attached), so it is not a good demo as a standalone.

Three of the screenshot examples pass but only one is useful to users.

#WCAG #a11y #accessibility

A group of buttons with only the top row of pixels visible above the fixed footer; this passes the SC.
A group of buttons with the very top edges of the letters of the button’s text visible, but not legible; this passes the SC.
A group of buttons with the bottoms of each clipped by the fixed footer, but entirety of the text within is legible; this passes the SC.
