needs keyboard support

  • <img> can’t get focus so this is not accessible from a keyboard. You need to add a tabindex attribute or wrap the image in a link or use a button.

    Also you could/should remove the inline javascript and make it unobtrusive.

    Not tried it because of the lack of accessibility. Not for me. Need keyboard use.

  • Really you think that because you think it needs keyboard support you give them two stars? Wow. Prozac much?

    Sorry, languidcorpse, let’s just respect wp-jscar’s point for a moment. Under some countries it is mandatory not to discriminate people with disabilities, and not providing keyboard-use does discriminate.

    If it turns out that the plugin author hasn’t made this plugin keyboard-accessible, as I imagine it would be very hard to, it is a very fair point to rate the plugin down.

    Andrew you are good at your job, keep it up. ??

    I’m not even sure why I’m responding to such a childish comment but…

    Yes, languidcorpse, I do think that lack of keyboard support warrants two stars; that’s why I gave it two stars. If I’d have thought different they would have got a different numbers of stars. That’s how it works. I also told them a couple of methods for achieving keyboard support which I considered to be both helpful and a positive contribution. When you consider the plugin is meant to help people with disabilities I reckon building it so only those using a mouse/pointing device can use it is pretty bad.

    As Andrew points out – in most forward thinking countries it’s actually illegal to exclude people with disabilities from online services.
