Add “aria-live” after quiz submission for accessibility

    We are using the Pro version. When a quiz is submitted, the quiz shows the text for pass/failed. We are going a WCAG accessibility review on our website. In order to make the HDQuiz plugin more accessible, it would be ideal if the results area had the HTML attribute: aria-live=”polite”, which is used by screen readers to indicate that something has been updated on the page.

    To be more precise:

    1. in the codebase, look for the DIV with class “hdq_results_inner”
    2. give that DIV the HTML attribute: aria-live=”polite”, like so: https://www.screencast.com/t/uG7XSk1Dc

    This won’t take you more than 2 minutes, and will make the plugin more accessible.

    Hi fariazz,
    great idea! I’ll have to do some research to verify that polite is the best value (I remember there being other values that such as alert and status, etc I think that might also be relevant), before pushing this update, but I’ll look into it tomorrow (currently Midnight in Southern Ontario).

    I doubt I’ll push this as a versioned update, though – it should be a very small change and isn’t worth forcing all users to have to update. However, any new install and future updates will include the change. I’ll reply here once the update is ready, and you can simply reinstall HD Quiz to get the update.

    Just pushed out the update ??

    You can delete HD Quiz then reinstall as normal and you should be good to go! Thank you for this suggestion.
