Unfortunately I've not given thought to people with disabilities in this case. It's an oversight and that's on me.
I wonder if bots are smart enough to figure out aria-hidden="true". Possibly empty it out using javascript on submit. I would guess a bot not using CSS would also not be using javascript? Unsure, would need testing.
- kaybe 7y agoCould we just tell the people with screen readers to ignore it?
- corobo 7y agoAs a fallback I imagine so yeah. I'm trying to think about what would be going on at the time, wondering if unexpected instructions inside a form would be confusing. Disclaimer: I don't know how a screenreader would present this, example only "Form entry. Input name. Input email. Ignore this field it's for spambots. Input url. Submit" -- In this case does the message more naturally apply to email or url? I'd imagine there'd be a pause after input email (to wait for the input)? I need to set up a screen reader :)
