Accessibility

[tysongach]

I’d love for Administrate to be as accessible, as possible. We’ve done some work in that area already: #51, #380, #410, #416.

But there is more work to be done. I’m going to use this issue to capture those:

• Links must have discernible text (21 violations)
  • Target: body > .app-container > .main-content > .search > .search__clear > a
  • Target: body > .app-container > .main-content > .collection-data > tbody > tr:nth-of-type(1) > .cell-data.cell-data--email > .action-show.table__link-plain (repeat for each row in the data table)
• Check a11y of linked table rows; fix the accessible label for table row links.
• Elements must have sufficient color contrast (76 violations)
  • Target: body > .app-container > .sidebar > .sidebar__list > li:nth-of-type(1) > .sidebar__link.sidebar__link--active (repeat for each blue link)
  • This is the blue link color we use
• Swap | in page titles, because screen readers read this as “vertical pipe.”

(I’m using the aXe Chrome extension to find these errors)

Actually, I'm interested on this one. I think this should be fixed. It's not going to happen today or tomorrow, but we should see to it. In the past I've thought a bit about how this table could be improved for accessibility, and I didn't know this ticket was here. The mention to the aXe tool was useful and I have added it to my browser.

I'm going to reopen this if it's ok. And hopefully we'll look into it. One day...
