Re: checking for contrast errors

Jeremy, you are absolutely right about the submenu text. That fixed
three out of four contrast errors! There's one more. I still can't track
it down.

I have no idea why "has submenu" turns into "submenu". Anybody out there
have any thoughts?

I would happily change the js and ARIA and get rid of the invisible
text. Any really solid examples you could point too? In the meanwhile I
have tinkered with what I had and came up with this

any thoughts?

Thanks SO MUCH for taking the time to help with this!

Sandy

If that happens, you can eliminate the unnecessary text, and as a bonus the contrast errors go away.
