RE: Quick Note on ARIA and Windows High Contrast Mode | scottohara.me

Hi everyone,

Thanks for getting in touch! I won't be able to join the call, but we're tracking that feedback and taking it into consideration as we collaborate/iterate on High Contrast support in the Chromium project. Always happy to get your thoughts, so: if you have feedback on web platform implementation details in the future-as opposed to standards questions we can address in the CSSWG-please feel free to share on https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list. Then the rest of the Chromium open source community can join the discussion!

Thanks,
Melanie

We should make sure to convey to Microsoft that ARIA roles and states or their representation in the   accessibility object model are taken into consideration for HCM mode in the new Edge.
