This builds on work by @chris-gds for the accordion component refresh in #2257.
What
Add media feature
-ms-high-contrast
to media queries that change styles for Windows High Contrast Mode.Add CSS property
-ms-high-contrast-adjust
where propertyforced-color-adjust
is used.For example, see draft PR #2290
Why
Internet Explorer 11 doesn't support the
forced-colors
media feature or theforced-color-adjust
property, but it has equivalents in-ms-high-contrast
and-ms-high-contrast-adjust
.We can port fixes for High Contrast Mode such as improved focus states for radios and checkboxes (#2264) that currently work in Edge / Chrome / Opera but not Internet Explorer.
According to the 2018 WebAIM survey of users with low vision, a higher percentage use Internet Explorer than Edge.
