[orca-list] Survey about inaccessible Content on Web Pages for Firefox dev tools (fwd)

[Willem van der Walt <wvdwalt csir co za>]

An initiative we should support IMHO.
Just as relevant for Orca users than the NVDA users.

Subject: [nvda] Survey about inaccessible Content on Web Pages for Firefox dev tools



Hi all,



It's been quite some time since I've posted here. Since I joined Mozilla, I've been watching NVDA from the 
sidelines, helping out where I can and contributing the odd NVDA patch here and there. Today, I have a small 
request to make on behalf of Mozilla accessibility.



Many web sites are inaccessible because they use custom page elements that 
lack the accessibility of browser-native ones. You have almost certainly 
run across this in your surfing: a page that uses divs and JavaScript to 
create a checkbox which NVDA doesn't recognise, for example. Mozilla wants 
to improve this by identifying these inaccessible elements in the Firefox 
developer tools and helping web authors use standard ones—or helping them 
add the right ARIA roles to make their custom elements accessible.

But identifying inaccessible custom elements is a challenge. The approach we're investigating is to use 
machine learning, which requires many examples. We would greatly appreciate your help in finding them, by 
filling out this survey:

Thanks!



Jamie
