A Tiny jQuery Plugin: Accessible News Slider

Umut M. — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 17:00:46 +0000

Yesterday, a jQuery slider plugin was published at WRD. And here is another nice one.

Accessible News Slider is a lighyweight jQuery plugin (2kb packed) for presenting contents in a slider.

The CSS, XHTML and JavaScript are developed specifically to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0.

Users with color vision deficiency, or color blindness
Color is not the primary indicator & back-next navigation is either visible or hidden. There is also an indicator that communicates the total number of news items.
Users with limited or poor vision, but who do not use a screen reader
Slider is compatible with resized fonts.
Users that are legally blind, and who browse Web pages with a screen reader
The appropriate skip links and title tags have been included for navigation and messaging.
And more details are mentioned on the plugin’s homepage.

The plugin is compatible with all major browsers and free for both personal & commercial use.

Web Accessibility Checklist

admin — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 05:01:28 +0000

Aaron Cannon, a blind web developer and accessibility consultant, has shared a great web accessibility checklist that every designer & developer will find handy.

It includes more user experience facts than the technical ones. Just like:

Avoid CAPTCHAs unless you have no other choice, and even then
they should be avoided. However, if you must use them, provide
an audio CAPTCHA alternative.
Provide “Skip to content” links at the top of the markup order in
pages with large numbers of navigational links before the main
content.

The list can be reached as PDF and text formats.
