After the click me link is selected a person using speech read Keyboard Accessible Popup Click me - This is keyboard accessible, but will the empty link creates redundant noise for screen reader?
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Close Click me The person did not like the redundant text and wonder why a regular message box wasn't used. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of tee Sent: Wednesday, February 23, 2011 5:21 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [WSG] screen reader friendly and keyboard accessible popup? Please take a look at this example. The first example is keyboard accessible however I am also concern with the empty link that may create extra noise for screen reader, e.g if every single page has a popup, it will have two empty links, one is the popup trigger and the other the close link. Sure it's just two empty links, as I started using VoiceOver more frequent to test the sites, I find the two links quite annoying. http://jsbin.com/efimu5 Is there a much better approach that works great for both keyboard and screen reader user? Was looking up the "keypress" and "focus" events, but not certain they are good for such function.
