Hi, ADA compliant lawsuits are popping up everywhere right now. Can you let me know how compliant the Enfold theme is with ADA standards (ideally WCAG 2.1)? For instance:
1) do you use ‘onkeydown’ instead of ‘onclick’ for javascript actions on things like buttons? (needed by some readers).
2) Do forms associated with Enfold add labels or atria-label for all the fields?
Thx for the info.
Hey waterwalk,
Thank you for the inquiry.
1.) Would you mind providing a scenario or area of the site where this should be implemented? Generally, the click event listener is used when necessary.
2.) Yes, all fields in the contact form have an associated label by default. It can also be disabled or be replaced with a placeholder when required.
Best regards,
IsmaelHi again, I’m doing quite a bit of work with ADA compliance for several clients right now so I’ve become aware of some of the issues. Every time there is a button that someone would insert or any action that needs to get taken by the user to create an event. WGAC 2.1 standards do not consider “onClick” to be passable. They are asking developers to use ‘onKeyDown’. I would like to keep using your theme (and i wish you guys would just come up with a bulk discount) but I may need to switch if a lot of your button actions etc. are using ‘onClick’ because lawsuits are cropping up everywhere on this ADA compliance stuff.
Let me know if that’s something they tend to adjust.
Thx
Hi,
A lot of the buttons in the theme just contain a link without any event listener or is not dynamically controlled by a script. If you can give us an example of an element where this needs to be implemented, we could possibly give you a hint where the changes should be done.
Would you mind giving us a link to the WCAG documentation where this particular case is discussed?
Best regards,
Ismael
