- busymom0 5y agoFair. But if a user has accessibility enabled, that should override the css itself no? Also even with the focus outline disabled on other sites, I am able to navigate with the keyboard to text input fields. OP's site doesn't have any input fields so not sure why they have that CSS in place as I don't think it's doing anything.
- forgotmypw17 5y agoYou are making the assumption that the user has some modicum of control over the browser's configuration.
- busymom0 5y agoNo I am not. Users who require accessibility have it setup in their MacOS/Windows settings. It's a global setting for them. It's not website specific.
- Someone 5y agoUsers may access the site through a third-party device that they cannot configure, for example in a kiosk setting.
- busymom0 5y agoI mean we are talking about a demo project on hosting a tiny site on a calculator. Don't think anyone is trying to access it from a kiosk. But if your comment is a general opinion of websites in general, then yea, I see what you mean.
- tqx 5y agoNo, it will not override the CSS (not sure what you mean by "accessibility enabled" exactly). > even with the focus outline disabled on other sites, I am able to navigate with the keyboard to text input fields Correct, but for a user with vision problems, the focus outline lets them see what has focus. CSS doesn't stop them from inputting values. Focus styles are essential and should not be removed as a best practice (in general, this is a very small site).
