Visual ARIA has recently been updated!
If you don’t know what Visual ARIA is, that is very sad… You can read about it here.
A huge thanks goes to Laurence Lewis for solely coding this update!
The biggest changes and most advanced functionality are now available within the Chrome and Firefox extensions.
These include:
·??????Activating the Visual ARIA ?extension button will open an options dialog.
·??????Here you can choose which ARIA features and role types you would like to single out on the page.
·??????Now optionally choose to expose the AccName computation on mouse hover.
·??????Enjoy more granular control, reduced cognitive load, and ability to unload Visual ARIA without a page refresh.
Also added is the latest AccName algorithm update, which includes Visual ARIA logic to expose when roles that are not allowed to be named have incorrectly been labelled.
Enjoy!
This is great, really nice to be able to focus on specific element types; makes screen easier to read, and gives nicer screenshots too. Thanks for the update Bryan and Laurence!
