RE: How to check visualizations in iframes

Don’t bother. Tableau is totally inaccessible and unfixable. I happened to be looking at some visualisations for a client last week and I was horrified by the coding.

With most iframes, you can usually right-click the URL in the DOM Inspector and select “Open in new tab”. Testing tools will then work. However, I have come across a very small number of iframes that don’t work outside the host website – you just have to try it and see.

Subject: How to check visualizations in iframes

Hello,

I just started a position as a BI Developer and part of my job is to check our tableau visualizations for accessibility. In the past, I used wave chrome extension, but wave doesn't seem to scan charts and visualizations since they are inside iframes. Would anyone know how I can check charts and visualizations for accessibility? Is there a tool for that? Any type of information is greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Best,

Mehrnaz
