summary	Summary: 1. Building Accessible Components: - Start by considering the user experience from an accessibility perspective. - Focus on keyboard navigation, clear visual focus indicators, and consistent layout. - Understand the accessibility tree (DOM + ARIA roles/properties) to assess component accessibility. 2. JavaScript & Accessibility: - JavaScript isn't necessary for making components accessible; semantic HTML is sufficient. - Use JavaScript to enhance or repair inaccessible content but understand that it's not a substitute for proper markup. 3. Semantic HTML: - Semantic HTML provides context about the content structure, helping screen readers and other assistive technologies. - Improper use of elements can lead to accessibility issues; choose elements based on their meaning and function. 4. ARIA & Native HTML: - ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) provides roles and properties for enhancing or supplementing native HTML semantics. - Reach for ARIA when native HTML doesn't provide the needed functionality, but prioritize semantic HTML first. 5. Navigating ARIA & WCAG Documents: - ARIA specifications: https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/ - Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG): https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/ - Familiarize yourself with these documents to understand accessibility standards and best practices. 6. CSS & Accessibility: - CSS can affect accessibility through visual styling, contrast, font size, etc. - Ensure sufficient color contrast, use appropriate font sizes, and avoid using color as the only means of conveying information. 7. Accessible Names: - Accessible names are crucial for screen readers; they help identify form inputs, links, buttons, and other interactive elements. - Provide descriptive text or labels for all interactive elements to ensure they can be understood by screen readers. 8. Providing Names to Components: - Prioritize native HTML semantics (like ``) over ARIA properties (`aria-label`, `aria-labelledby`) for naming components. - If neither is available, use ARIA properties sparingly and provide clear, concise, and unique names. 9. Forms & Validation: - Follow best practices for creating accessible forms: use semantic HTML, provide clear labels, indicate required fields, and include validation messages. - Native HTML5 form validation is not sufficient for accessibility; supplement it with ARIA attributes and focus management. 10. Announcing Content Updates: - Use ARIA live regions (`aria-live`) to announce changes in content that users might need to know about (e.g., dynamic updates). This summary covers key topics from the course, focusing on building accessible components, understanding ARIA and HTML semantics, and adhering to accessibility best practices.
