Subject: Please share example of inaccessible but popular UI component
No previous message | Next message →

Hi all!
I'm looking for a frequently used UI component that has severe
accessibility issues. Ideally - issues with keyboard navigation because
that would be easy to demo. I want to use it in a training for
developers to proof the point that one should carefully check components
written by someone else before using them in their own product. That's
why I need something popular to strengthen the argumentation. Under
"popular" I mean that the component belongs to a known framework/library
and/or it has been starred many times on Github for instance :) If
someone has an example of this at hand, please share the link. Thanks in
advance!

Hello Vlad,

It's not a component in the sense you asked, but may be suitable for a demonstration.
- The Google Calendar has a combo box for selecting the calendar in which an appointment should be entered.
- Normally an appointment can be saved with the key combination CTRL+Enter.
- This also works with a screen reader (NVDA 2023.3RC2).
- However, this key combination does not work if the focus is on the combo box for selecting the calendar.

You can compare these if you wish using a screen reader such as JAWS or NVDA in Chrome and Firefox to validate keyboard accessibility.
