With the submission deadline for Drupalcon SF2010 session proposals coming to a close I took a look at the Drupalcon SF2010 site to see if any sessions related to accessibility had been proposed. To my surprise there were four session proposals related to accessibility.
After upgrading the operating system on my MacBook to OS X Snow Leopard I noticed that the Drupal 7 CSS style .element-invisible is no longer being recognized correctly.
Elements styled with .element-invisible should be invisible to all but screen-reader users, and those browsing the web with CSS disabled in their browsers.
Dragging and dropping or re-ordering objects is a challenge for screen-reader users on pretty much any platform, especially on the web. There are some solutions, like the Fluid Infusion Image Reorderer widget, which uses WAI-ARIA to create an accessible experience for users of assistive technologies that support WAI-ARIA. Drupal implements a complex UI component called "table drag".
Good morning and welcome to my new blog. I haven't been writing since the summer when I was working for Open Concept Consulting. I'm not sure how often this site will be updated, but I will do my best to keep the site current with information about the projects that I am currently working on.
