Re: Techniques, a Note! and preference to pick up next

Hi Jake,

If there isn’t a known & useful technique for reflowing tables I’m happy to leave that for now, there’s an exception for tablular data.

For the fitting to viewport, have you found issues with applying max-width: 100% or 100vw to a cell?

It is advisory rather than sufficient, so it’s probably best to focus on a sufficient techniques anyway.

In terms of prioritisation, I’d look at which you are happy to tackle, then prioritise by: Level A sufficient, Level A failure, Level AA sufficient, Level AA failure etc.

I think you’d find these relatively easy to get done:


  *   1.3.4: Failure: Locking the orientation.
  *   1.4.10: CSS, Fitting images to the viewport (3)

And I’m sure there are more!

Thanks,

-Alastair

Subject: Techniques, a Note! and preference to pick up next

Hi everyone,

First a Note!:  At https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/Wcag21-techniques I see:


  *   1.4.10 => 4. CSS, Reflowing simple data tables.(new)
  *   1.4.10 => 5. CSS, Fitting data cells within the width of the viewport. (new)

I’m wondering if this is all about changing display of cells and table. If so we should NOT do these ones as there’s no proper accessible way to do this.
Using table display: inline, cell display: block and pseudo classes all do only half the job and cause other issues like not being recognised by SR and arrow keys in table mode not logically going to the expected rows/cells.
All so called “accessible tables” out there on the internet are sadly not accessible at all.
I do have a complex idea to do this with re-ordering elements in a very custom way by using lots of ARIA and JavaScript, but this is not a simple example and surely not a CSS approach.
So I suggest these to be removed and not burn our fingers.

Second I can pick up one of the following techniques but wonder if we do have some sort of preference?


  *   1.3.4 => 1/2/3
  *   1.3.6 => 2/3
  *   1.4.10 => 3/6/7
  *   1.4.11 => 1/2/3/4
  *   1.4.13 => 1/2
  *   2.5.5 => 1
