One of the things that can prevent people from joining your site is the level of contrast that is between the text and the background. Low contrast sites are unintelligible for some and difficult to use for others. There is no reason not to have good contrast on your site, surely you want people to be able to read the text? Thankfully, you don’t need to make any guesses as to whether or not your site has enough contrast! Accessible Colors is a useful tool that provides a contrast checker that will tell you whether or not the colour combination has sufficient contrast. When using the website, be sure to input the foreground (text) colour, the background colour and the font size. Larger text needs less contrast to be legible! Accessible Colors will analyse the colours and font size chosen to ensure that it meets W3C's web accessibility guidelines. W3C develops guidelines with an aim to remove barriers that creep into web designs. Depending on what software you use for your roleplay site (and your own know how), it can be difficult to fully meet their guidelines. Ensuring good contrast is however, an easy guideline to meet and will help to ensure that as many people as possible are able to use your site. -
My board is here. So, I'm looking to make my site's skin more accessible, and part of this includes a new tab system. What I'm attempting to do (following this tutorial) and have mostly succeeded with is allowing people to tab through the tabs (hah) and use enter key to switch to a tab. I'm also looking to let the user use their arrow keys to automatically switch through the tabs as well. Tab/enter key works fine, but the second I try to use the arrow key method is where the code is going haywire. If I use the arrow keys, it appears as if all the tabs are selected except the one that was navigated away from. The "focused" tab then becomes the last tab in the list, and the displayed content becomes the first tab. Needless to say it's not doing what it's supposed to, and I'm unsure of how to fix it. On the tutorial linked above, you can see that using the arrow keys automatically switches between the tabs as intended (or seems to, there's only two tabs there, compared to my 5-6) Here's the js I'm using: <script> $(document).ready(function(){ $("#sidebar li[role='tab']").click(function(){ $("#sidebar li[role='tab']:not(this)").attr("aria-selected","false"); //$("#sidebar li[role='tab']").attr("tabindex","-1"); $(this).attr("aria-selected","true"); //$(this).attr("tabindex","0"); var tabpanid= $(this).attr("aria-controls"); var tabpan = $("#"+tabpanid); $("#sidebar div[role='tabpanel']:not(tabpan)").attr("aria-hidden","true"); $("#sidebar div[role='tabpanel']:not(tabpan)").addClass("hidden"); tabpan.removeClass("hidden"); //tabpan.className = "panel"; tabpan.attr("aria-hidden","false"); }); //This adds keyboard accessibility by adding the enter key to the basic click event. $("#sidebar li[role='tab']").keydown(function(ev) { if (ev.which ==13) { $(this).click(); } }); //This adds keyboard function that pressing an arrow left or arrow right from the tabs toggel the tabs. $("#sidebar li[role='tab']").keydown(function(ev) { if ((ev.which ==39)||(ev.which ==37)) { var selected= $(this).attr("aria-selected"); if (selected =="true"){ $("#sidebar li[aria-selected='false']").attr("aria-selected","true").focus() ; $(this).attr("aria-selected","false"); var tabpanid= $("#sidebar li[aria-selected='true']").attr("aria-controls"); var tabpan = $("#"+tabpanid); $("#sidebar div[role='tabpanel']:not(tabpan)").attr("aria-hidden","true"); $("#sidebar div[role='tabpanel']:not(tabpan)").addClass("hidden"); tabpan.attr("aria-hidden","false"); tabpan.removeClass("hidden"); //tabpan.className = "panel"; } } }); }); </script> My tab css: ul.controlList { list-style-type: none; } li[aria-selected='true'] {} .panel[aria-hidden='true'] { display: none; } .panel[aria-hidden='false'] { display:block; } .hidden {display:none;} .tablist { list-style: none outside none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; display: block; background-color: #080808; border-bottom: 2px solid #1e2733; border-top: 3px solid #252d34; text-align: center; } .tabs { background-color: transparent; padding: 5px; } .tab { display: inline; border-bottom: none; cursor: pointer; padding: 0 4px; font-family: georgia, times, serif; text-transform: uppercase; color: #5b656d; } .tab:focus, .tab:active, .tab[aria-selected='true'] { color: #374C5D; cursor:default; } .panel { background-color: #121212; padding: 5px; clear:both; } and the tab html: <aside id="sidebar" role="complementary"> <ul class="tablist" role="tablist"> <li id="tab1" class="tab" aria-controls="panel1" role="tab" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0">Welcome</li> <li id="tab2" class="tab" aria-controls="panel2" role="tab" aria-selected="false" tabindex="0">Links</li> <li id="tab3" class="tab" aria-controls="panel3" role="tab" aria-selected="false" tabindex="0">Chat</li> <li id="tab4" class="tab" aria-controls="panel4" role="tab" aria-selected="false" tabindex="0">Staff</li> <li id="tab5" class="tab" aria-controls="panel5" role="tab" aria-selected="false" tabindex="0">©</li> </ul> <div class="tabs"> <div id="panel1" class="panel" aria-labelledby="tab1" role="tabpanel" aria-hidden="false"><% WELCOME %></div> <div id="panel2" class="panel" aria-labelledby="tab2" role="tabpanel" aria-hidden="true"><div class="sidelink"><% LINKS %></div></div> <div id="panel3" class="panel" aria-labelledby="tab3" role="tabpanel" aria-hidden="true"><% CHAT %></div> <div id="panel4" class="panel" aria-labelledby="tab4" role="tabpanel" aria-hidden="true"><% STAFF %></div> <div id="panel5" class="panel" aria-labelledby="tab5" role="tabpanel" aria-hidden="true"><% CREDITS %></div> </div> </aside> Any help with this would be appreciated!
