ISSUE-193: Remove CSS example that promotes inaccessible content
inaccessible-example
Remove CSS example that promotes inaccessible content
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- HTML 5 spec
- Raised by:
- Steve Faulkner
- Opened on:
- 2012-01-13
- Description:
- raised from bug https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13023
the spec currently encourages authors to hide outlines on focusable elements:
"...if you find the focus ring unsightly. Instead, use a CSS rule to override
the 'outline' property.
For example, to hide the outline from links, you could use:
:link:focus, :visited:focus { outline: none; }"
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/editing.html#element-level-focus-apis
recommend removing or rewording as the removal of CSS outlines is a well known
usability/accessibility issue.
