Subject: SVG Text Alternative Example
No previous message | Next message →

Greetings, WebAIM:


I'm wondering whether there is any additional information/more
current reading regarding SVG-based interactive images. Steve
Faulkner's article from August of 2011 is most helpful:

HTML5 Accessibility Chops SVG text alternative example The Paciello Group Blog
http://blog.paciellogroup.com/2011/08/html5-accessibility-chops-interactive-image-example/

But I thought I'd double check to see if anyone had anything else to
add on the subject.

For what it's worth, I did look at the linked-to test page with IE 10
and JFW 14. The experience was very different than with JFW 14 and Ff
21. It seems to me that JFW and Ff were more accurate, as they were in 2011.

Thanks for any additional references/thoughts.

Best,
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,
so, what did you do in FF with JAWS to get anything other than the text on
the page and alt text? I could not interact with the SVG at all using those
tools. I am using FF21 and Jaws 14.
