Re: Question on accessible carousel implementation

Hi All,

I've always considered carousels to be tabbed content from a semantic point of view and therefore feel the selection controls should be at the top.

This would prevent having to backtrack up to consume the content as a keyboard only or screen reader user.

Example: http://catalogue.membershiprewards.ca/l1Category.mtw?categoryNameÊ_new
(yes, there are some alt text issues here - disclaimer: I worked on it years ago)


Thoughts?
