Subject: Collapsible Braedcrumb Pattern
No previous message | Next message →
We have an interesting pattern we plan to use on our site, but I'm unsure
how to code it to be accessible. Basically, at larger viewports, we have a
horizontal breadcrumb, but to economize on space on mobile, we only show
the first link in the list, which is the site name, followed by a button
with three horizontal dots in it.
Clicking the button then causes the rest of the breadcrumb to appear
horizontally.
I suppose I could, at a minimum, have the accessible name for the button be
"Show full breadcrumb", and add aria-controls pointing back to the IDREF of
the breadcrumb which would be changing. However, it seems a little weird.
It's sort of like a disclosure, but not really and the triggering button
follows what is being disclosed. Should I use aria-expanded on the
button? Should I float the button or use flexbox so it actually comes
before the breadcrumb in the tab order? Anything else I could do to make
the relationship clearer?
Another option might be to have the full breadcrumb be there all the time,
but with the height set to the line-height and overflow set to hidden, such
that only the first link is visible by default. Then, if the user tabs to
the next link in the breadcrumb, the height would be set to auto, revealing
the full breadcrumb. When you tabbed past the breadcrumb, the height would
again be set to the line-height, with only the first link being visible.
In this scenario, there would still be the expansion button following the
breadcrumb, but it would simply be toggling between styles where the height
is the line-height or auto. The accessible name for the button, then,
would provide some additional cue for screen reader users that the
expansion button only affects the visible appearance of the breadcrumb.
What do you think? You seen anything like this before? I think in our
case at least, it is a good way of using space efficiently while still
providing access to mechanisms that can help in wayfinding.

I don't think screen reader users are a problem. I would probably design the feature so they always hear all the links and are not even aware of the expand / collapse status.
I would be more concerned about how someone using voice recognition software would interact with it, although that's probably an issue for the future because there currently seems to be just about zero support for web browsing using voice control on mobile devices, either natively or via an app. If anyone knows any differently, I would be very interested to hear what is available. I have never encountered voice recognition software that reveals the accessible name to the user, so it would not be possible to interact with the "dot dot dot" link unless the accessible name is obvious.

Just realized the embedded images didn't come through. See attached for
collapsed and expanded state, which are described in text in the previous
message..

Strange. They show up on mine, but I'm not sure how the listserv handles
such things.
Lets try just providing links to the images:
- Collapsible Breadcrumb (Collapsed)
<http://www.test.assist.vt.edu/sandbox/breadcrumb-collapsed.jpg>;
- Collapsible Breadcrumb (Expanded)
<http://www.test.assist.vt.edu/sandbox/breadcrumb-expanded.jpg>;
Third time's the charm (I hope).

Any kind of icon button is a challenge in that regard. I planned to have
an accessible name and tooltip that would appear on focus or hover, but
that doesn't really help speech recognition users so much, unless they do
"Press tab" a million times, or use mouse grid. Of course, they could say
"click button" and then choose the number that appeared over this
particular button. Not ideal, but I'd think that'd be the way to handle
that circumstance (in Dragon and Windows Speech Recognition anyway). This
kind of speech recognition and control software really needs a feature that
displays the accessible name for all elements on the page, or maybe all
elements of a certain type like buttons or images. Having visual labels
for icon buttons is not always possible in a design.
As far as voice control on mobile devices, I know Google had a beta test of
an Android app that let you control everything on the screen with your
voice, and I think it may have even had text-to-speech incorporated in it
as well. Unfortunately, it was a limited release and I was too late to
sign up to test the app by the time I learned of it. Can't wait until that
get's released though! Anyone else know anything about that?

Just out of interest, I wonder if "breadcrumbs" is a term understood
more by devs and designers than by actual users. Would a
screenreader-user understand what was meant by "view full breadcrumb?"

That took me less time to understand the structure than when I came across "Hamburgers" in my web pages.
Of course I had Hansel and Greta read to me as a child, so I am sure that helped me understand the term breadcrumb when I first encountered it on a web site.

Unrelated, but something that tickled me a while a go: in french,
breadcrumbs are called "fil d'ariane" (Ariane's thread, from the story
of the Minotaur in Greek mythology).

I like this. I looked up the story of the minotaur on Wikipedia, and ended up on the linked page on "Ariadne's thread (logic)."
"...named for the legend of Ariadne, is the solving of a problem with multiple apparent means of proceeding - such as a physical maze, a logic puzzle, or an ethical dilemma".
Now the name of Ariadne from Inception, who was adept at creating mazes, makes sense.
On topic: it was Hansel and Gretel that I remembered when first encountering the term Breadcrumb trail, and helped me understand it's purpose.

Yes, Isabel. Actually, that was one of things our UX designer encountered
when he was doing some quick guerrilla usability testing of the pattern
with folks. He found that 50% of users know what a path is; 30% knew what
breadcrumbs were (complete overlap with path); and 50% knew neither term.
So, from that brief check, path seems like a better way to describe it.
However, I think "Expand/collapse breadcrumb path" may be best. At the
cost of a little extra verbosity, that should let speech recognition users
activate the control by saying "click expand", "click collapse", "click
breadcrumb", "click path", or "click breadcrumb path". I think; I still
need to confirm that would work as described.

FYI: I tested the string I mentioned earlier, "Expand/collapse breadcrumb
path", in both Windows Speech Recognition and Dragon Naturally Speaking
14.0. Here are the results:
- *Windows Speech Recognition* responded to "click expand", "click
collapse", "click breadcrumb", "click path", "click breadcrumb path",
"click expand breadcrumb", "click collapse breadcrumb", "click expand
path", "click collapse path", "click expand collapse breadcrumb path"
- *Dragon Naturally Speaking 14.0* responded to "click breadcrumb",
"click path", "click breadcrumb path"
If I surrounded the slash with spaces, however, making the string "Expand /
collapse breadcrumb path", then Dragon Naturally Speaking 14.0 responded to
all of the commands that Windows Speech Recognition did, and Windows Speech
Recognition still responded to all of those as well.
So the upshot is, if you're using this strategy, surround your slashes with
spaces.

Another FYI: Dragon 14.0 does not appear to recognize buttons labelled
using aria-labelledby. However, it does recognize anchor tags labelled
this way. Also, rather strangely, it does respond if you change the role
of the anchor tag to button with role="button".
So this works:
<a aria-labelledby="tooltip" href="#" onclick="alert('success!');
return false;" role="button">test</a>
<div role="tooltip" id="tooltip" class="sr-only">Expand / collapse
breadcrumb path</div>
But this doesn't:
<button aria-labelledby="tooltip" onclick="alert('success!');">test</button>
<div role="tooltip" id="tooltip" class="sr-only">Expand / collapse
breadcrumb path</div>
Anybody know if this works better in more recent versions of Dragon?
