Hi Bryan,

You never responded to the test results I sent you that showed that the your combobox example is flawed. I found that it works ok if users interact with it in certain ways and it behaves incorrectly if they interact in other ways. All those different ways of interacting a perfectly normal, and native comboboxes work correctly in every case. Since that was the simplest of all your combobox variants I saw no point testing the others until that one is fixed. Have you had a chance to review my results?

Regards,
Steve

Hi,
All of the widgets within the AccDC TSG framework have been thoroughly tested to ensure accessibility, downloadable at https://github.com/whatsock/tsg The accessible widgets of which plug directly into jQuery, Dojo, or MooTools.

You can test many of these yourself here:

"As far as I am aware, there are no front-end frameworks that are even remotely accessible."

I remember us going back and forth about this not long ago on this list. I feel like a broken record sometimes.

Hi Michael,

As far as I am aware, there are no front-end frameworks that are even remotely accessible. If there are, then no one is using them. Most don't even do radio button and checkbox replacements properly, let alone rich controls.

Subject: [WebAIM] closest alternatives to semantic UI

Hi all,

As a bit of an introduction, I am blind, and use screen readers. I also program in my spare time. To that end, I have been looking into replacing semantic UI (which I hear is not interested whatsoever to add accessibility to their framework) with something else in an open source project [1]. So I'm looking for recommendations for frontend frameworks that are fully accessible, but have similar or identical features to semantic UI. Of special note is that this particular application relies on rich controls such as searchable multiselect boxes, etc. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

-Michael.
