F3 may also be removed soon, because CSS graphics can also get an alternative text. Possibly we should still wait for sufficient screen reader support |
This came up again today in an audit. This Failure has a couple of fatal flaws:
For a failure, it needs to represent a failure all of the time, and this clearly doesn't. We might say "browser X" doesn't support this, but WCAG doesn't require that every browser/AT provides support for any technology or technique: https://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG/conformance.html#uc-support-level-head |
due to the number of conflicts on this, I will redo this as a fresh PR, but we agreed in today's TF discussion that this is valid |
I altered the description so it will close two different related issues on adoption. @patrickhlauke if you're remaking the PR, please ensure the same 2 are referenced. |
Rationale: this is not *always* a failure. User agent/screen reader support has improved considerably since the technique was first devised, with most (all?) combinations now happily reading/announcing CSS-generated content. Supersedes #2800 (which was having too many merge conflicts due to its age) Closes #1554, closes #3781
Closing this in favor of #3818 |
