💀 Happy Halloween – October’s roundup from tempertemper

I’m just back from a fun evening trick-or-treating with the kids (or should I say Pikachu and Thing 1 from The Cat in the Hat) so, before I hit the sack, I thought to let you know that I wrote an article for you: Accessibility by degrees.

From the archives

We all make mistakes, so here’s one I shared earlier this year so that you don’t cause the same problems for keyboard-only Windows High Contrast mode users that I did: Windows High Contrast mode and focus outlines or: My focus indicators were inaccessible.

Elsewhere on the web

Here are some of the more interesting bits and bobs from around the web that I read during October:

• WCAG 2.2 is a ‘W3C Recommendation’ web standard!
• Ensuring negative numbers are available for everyone
• Introduction to screen‐readers, by Adam Liptrot:
  • Voiceover MacOS
  • NVDA
  • JAWS
• Don’t Use Fixed CSS height or width on Buttons, Links, or Any Other Text Containers
• How To Make A Strong Case For Accessibility

Anyway, Halloween’s over and so is October, so I’m off to bed. Catch you again at the end of November! 🎃
