Since Trump took office on Jan. 20 this year, he and his henchman have done many things that bewildered me. I assume that most of you are following the news, so you know what I’m talking about, but here are some things I found especially cruel and disgusting.
In my last blog post, I explained how to create a back-to-top button that visually indicates the scroll position. I tested it in different browsers to see if the CSS works. I didn't test with screen readers because the HTML was basic and straightforward. There wasn't anything that could go wrong, or at least I thought so.
I noticed a nice detail on theneedledrop.com. They have a square scroll-to-top button with an arrow pointing right. The button's border is black, and the background color is white. When you scroll, the arrow points up, and the background color turns gradually yellow as you scroll. That's nothing too special, but it caught my attention because it looks nice and I realized we can build this without JS. Let's try.
No, that's not a typo. I'm writing my year-in-review post for 2023 in 2025. It's not like 2023 was terrible, but it was intense, and I needed some distance before I could write about it, and then I just forgot to do it. Before I can write about 2024, I have to do 2023 first. So, here we go:
Friends of mine organise the seventh international TYPO3Camp, which takes place in Vienna on October 11th - 13th, 2024. I'm there to give a keynote talk and a workshop.
Once again, I’ve teamed up with my friends at Smashing Magazine 😻 to share with you everything I know about web accessibility testing! In this smashing workshop we’ll talk about automatic and manual testing, screen reader basics, Single Page Applications, Dev Tools, and more.
