Have you neglected using ARIA attributes? Also, check out my upcoming UI design course: completeui.design

Please, more tutorials about accessibility.

Yo Gary, great presentation style & quality. Do you have an interest in editing the vid. by adding a focus handler that with

I am a blind developer already I use a screen reader normally I think the best way to make your website accessible to use the native HTML tags I mean when you create a button use the tag button not airlink and style it it as a button . The HTML cannabis doesn't accessible at all don't use it a lot

[@IsaiahGamers]

role=“button”

[@GauravKumar-ue7nz]

What does Blind Developer means?

[@jaidendechon35]

​@@IsaiahGamers This is a common misconception. The whole point of semantic HTML is to use the right element for the job. If you need a button, just use a button! Even if you use `role="button"`, you're making things much worse for accessibility and much harder for yourself. If you don't use a `button` tag for a button, you now have to manually implement a tabindex, event-handlers for click/enter/spacebar, and all sorts of other things semantic buttons do for you just by virtue of being a button. Check this out for more information about what happens when you use your technique: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5WlaYaIndapfMU It's best just to use a tag. Doing otherwise makes things harder for yourself AND your audience for no gain at all.

[@seanpaulson9098]

@@IsaiahGamers no don't use role='button' on a HTML button tag... that's redundant and will cause problems.

[@adamromero]

This kind of stuff really needs to be more emphasized in learning courses for HTML. Web accessibility is too often an after thought for front end developers, I've been guilty of this too.

[@debjanibiswasroy]

Honestly in youtube there are tons of ARIA tutorials and none of them is in this depth. This is exactly what I was looking for...Super helpful.

[@notbrad4873]

I'm a digital accessibility auditor. The best way to make accessible sites is to follow the HTML spec and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). ARIA is made for UI elements that don't have meaningful syntax native to HTML. The accordion is a good example. ARIA supplements the meaningful information not supplied by native code (there is no tag), so you take an existing HTML element (div or button) and give it new meaning and specify the UI relationships with ARIA (labelledby, role, etc). Hope that makes sense.

[@cal9653]

Worth noting the details / summary elements for accordions, but often you'll make a custom accordion for better transitions etc. so definitely still useful advice.

[@dragosgheceanu9847]

thanks!

[@HoTKreeZy]

Wow... honestly, I've never worked with aria attributes and never really knew how important they are.. thank you, it is really interesting. Bravo!

[@MarkBelain]

OK so bookmarking this video for later, but I'm here because I thought Facebook was using "aria-describedby" to create pop-up descriptions, and I was asking "What is aria-describedby?" Your intro answered the ENTIRETY of my googling journey in just 5 seconds. Even though I'm leaving as soon as your 5 second intro answered my question, kudos to you for clearing something up so well and so fast like that. I PROMISE I will come back to watch the video in full, and soon.

[@brianmarwa8320]

I just recently got hired for a position that requires me to make projects accessible and 508 compliant. This video came at the right time....

[@JaimeIniesta]

The way to disable the extension (or enable it again) on a mac is: Control + Command + a + a

[@brittpermien]

Thank you!

[@erikjansson1790]

I love that you're making content about accessibility as well as UI/UX design. You could solve the accordion issues using only HTML with the and -tags. No script or aria needed. Try it!

[@JAllen-tx3di]

I prefer your approach much more because as a person who uses screen readers and have to teach my students how to use them, the accordion method is too wordy and I would much rather it say "button, list, etc" versus all of the text aria did, it can be confusing when hearing so much feedback. Thank you for giving this example in HTML. ARIA is used only when the HTML semantics isn't available. This video demonstrates why that is so, unintionally. But now I have more clarity.

[@iamtafara]

Love how he says before we begin, halfway through the video.

[@vkoiti]

[@shannavick-morris1092]

Start watching video at 3:26. That is where it starts to answer the question on the topic.

[@microcolonel]

One other thing that you could do is use a element instead of just a button and a paragraph in that expanding thing list. Another nice thing about is that it can be reached with browser search, and is automatically expanded and contracted when you do that. Also, no Javascript is necessary, in browsers from the last decade.

[@marcelomoraes1341]

Great video! We gotta raise some awareness over the web accessibility importance.

[@AndrewPoole-h6m]

Great video! I already passed it along to my workmates. So clear and concise. Thanks!

[@chukwuemekakingsleyufoegbu263]

Even in a simple symantic html demonstration your UI still looks elegant. Would definitely enroll for your UI course when am able to raise the money.

[@ozanmuyes]

Thanks for the informative video! One suggestion I can make for @DesignCourse is to minimize dark-to-light switching (and vice versa). It hurt my eyes (no pun intended)

[@parthkumarchaudhary]

Very Useful information. Now i understand why Bootstrap use "ARIA" attribute in their Development. Thanks Gery for great information. You added very important thing to my library.

[@Mr.samomar]

this is why I'm here

[@a-girl-has-no-name]

After being in this field for three years I had this sudden idea of looking up what the hell aria was because every one was using it, and I was just annoyed with these attributes that were everywhere and made no sense to me. Now I am embarrassed but glad that I got to know what they are. Thanks for this tutorial! It's so bad that these important points are not touched upon during the foundation learning of html.

[@Frankslaboratory]

New video, great! Most websites ignore ARIA, even in the company where I work. You can't even checkout without mouse :D

[@GoddessofWarr]

Super vidéo ! J'ai acheté un applaudissement à 2,00 € 👏

[@cram6916]

Thanks for the Alt+Shift+(A x2) shortcut The reader says "Chrome Vox is now inactive" but it continues to read anything I mouse over or click. It lies to me! :D

[@arthura.kupriyanov4667]

I love this ending music :) Good job, bro!

[@MeinDeutschkurs]

Thank you very much. This demo was eye opening! ❤

[@Niallphillips]

At the start you add a semantic 'nav' instead of just using role but it gives the same result. Whats the difference if it gives the same result?

[@mascatrails661]

I don't understand why you added the aria-controls and aria-labeledby. These didn't seem to affect the screen reader at all...

[@elmalleable]

how i wish i watched this one day before an interview, i totally almost forgot nav and aside when i was asked about semantic html. Thanks Gary, you help make the web a better place

[@ReactWithSamwize]

What camera are you using for your recording, its too clean😃

[@TheFeelGoodKid]

Very good vid. Have you anymore videos or courses on web accessibility?

[@jomesias]

So Aria reads the css data attribute and uses the speech utterance library to speak the description?

[@DesignCourse]

ARIA reads html markup along with associated attributes and presents it as an audio-based UI.

[@jomesias]

DesignCourse thanks for your reply! Its looking... err sounding awesome! 😆😆🎉🎉

Thank you for the vidoe, but you talking over the chrome box (or vice versa) is quite annoying. When you have something to say, wait until it is finished, don't do any action or disable it

Why are commodities like ordering pizza held to the same tier as disabled parking and wheelchair ramps???

[@chrisleighton6289]

because in a quality community people with special needs or who are disabled are allowed to eat. Do you have an argument why pizza should be at a lower quality than wheelchair ramps?
