Hm. I hope that sites like this are not a new trend but fear otherwise.
Visiting this page with my screen reader (NVDA from http://nvda-project.org http://nvda-project.org) shows all of a combo box with different currencies in it. There is precisely no other content.
At least before the worst things the blind had to worry about were unlabeled links that you could eventually possibly figure out through trial and error. This? Nothing.
I don't even see the clever little "Your browser sucks" message, as it's not my browser causing the issue. Just a complete lack of semantic markup of any kind that the screen reader could possibly interpret.
- rwinn 14y agoThat's unfortunate. All text is rendered with SVG, so it should be technically possible for your screen reader to pick up on when new SVG text nodes are added. Perhaps i should add a "Your screen reader sucks message" :-P
- ChrisClark 14y agoThat sure sounds like you're saying, "My customer can't use my product. I know, let's blame him instead of doing something about it." :-P
