WCAG Compliant?

    Is this plugin WCAG compliant? I’ve tried working with the Inline/Universal code from Constant Contact but noticed that it isn’t WCAG compliant for posting alerts for errors.

    Hi,

    I know we have tried to put focus on Accessibility details, but I don’t believe we’ve formally and rigorously confirmed compliance out of box.

    That said, I’m curious which errors were most prevalent in your findings, so that we can review and confirm if we are or not, or if there’s ways to make the end result compliant.

    Bit of a question of which level are you seeking at the moment as well.

    Edit: also if there are some very glaring issues preventing it, we’re all ears and willing to help aid in future releases, to make it as out-of-box ready as possible.

    The ones most prevalent:

    1. The error posting for a required field is not screen reader friendly
    2. There is no proper labeling for compliancy, tabulation and screen reader friendliness overall.

    Some parts may end up being a little dependent on the active theme, as we do try to inherit styles where possible to best match each theme.

    With our plugin here, I know we make use of labels on every field possible, as well as browser-native details for required fields, etc. We strive for semantic markup whenever possible.

    That said, we could go back and forth for awhile here I suspect with me trying to answer as best I can. Perhaps it’d be more time efficient to just have you try it out on your own briefly and if it meets needs, awesome. If there are spots where you can advise for some better practices and where we can still improve, like mentioned earlier, we’re all ears. Hopefully though most is already covered or could easily be remedied with a touch of extra CSS.

    Hey @toad78 Wanted to check in with you regarding our feedback thus far and if you’ve noticed anything specific where we’re lagging out of box.

    Hope all is well going for you otherwise.

    The plugin really didn’t work, so I had to do a lot of jQuery scripting in order to implement WCAG compliant code.

    I hope that this plugin (as well as CC) will become more accessiblity compliant in the near future.

    Thank you.

    Are you able to share the customizations made via jQuery with us? I can pass it along to those in charge of the plugin development for review
