Making a scroll bar keyboard accessible
Hi Ashley
I should clarify that this has fixed the scroll bar of the scroll entry field, being able to control the scroll bar with the arrow keys, Elements within the scroll bar can be selected and alt-tags can be read as before.
I just tested a 2 month old publish and I don't think it was working before, Perhaps it was fixed because they worked on fixing the keyboard access to the sliders(if there is a relation), perhaps they did it one update earlier, although I think I would have picked it up during testing, anyhow I'm ecstatic with the latest changes around accessibility:)
All we have to do now is open the old files in the latest update, check those alt-tags, republish and 'Bob's your uncle:)', all files are then ready for screen readers and assistive technology, pretty much up to our accessibility standards. We can comfortably continue using scroll-entry fields again.
Most our accessibility focus is on making reasonable adjustments around inclusive design, logic, contrast, transcripting presentations and alt-tagging elements or removing element's visibility from accessibility tools.
Thanks
