Hello
I just spotted a glaring accessibility issue on the HPR site.
I just listened to the community news, published today, and heard
mention of a show about Kafka. Which I need to know about right now for
work.
So I went to the site and to the tags page.
Running down the list of tags that begin with the letter 'K', I found:
• kafka: 3639
That's fine, but only the 3639 bit is included in the link.
So, when I hit the 'k' button to navigate by links in NVDA, a Windows
screen reader, all I get is number after number. I believe all major
screen readers include a key to jump from link to link.
No idea which is the Kafka show.
So, the link needs to be changed to include the tag in the anchor.
I have mentioned this before, that anchors should include the full text
that describe the link, not just the word 'here' as in "click here to
learn about invisible giraffes with six legs".
I would want the whole thing in the link, so that I could find the link
about invisible giraffes with six legs, and not just "here, here, here,
here, here" AAAAAARGH!
I don't know how I missed that when it was published. But I am one of
those people who screw up the stats, because I delete most shows based
on the title, after making sure it is not one of my "must listen" list
of hosts. Linux Inlaws is not one of those.
