Learning ARIA through the worst coded form input of all time

About

Come along for the ride as Lindsay Silver and Greg Jellin (who work together at the Center for Accessible Technology as digital accessibility analysts) teach the principles of accessible naming and ARIA by looking at the worst coded form input of all time.

  • aria-label, aria-labelledby, and aria-describedby
  • Label in Name (WCAG 2.5.3)
  • When the accessible name differs from label
  • Techniques for hiding content
  • How the accessible name is derived/computed
  • Common examples
  • Pitfalls of accessible naming
  • Rules and best practices
