HTML Can Do THAT?
Monday, 9th – 10:00
HTML is the foundation of the accessible web. And it is more powerful today than it ever was. In addition to carrying meaning that is critical for all current and future forms of assistive technology to understand, HTML has gotten some wonderful and quite powerful new features in the past few months, and it is now capable of providing interactive behavior that we have always needed to use JavaScript for. And some of this behavior is made possible using only a few attributes that can be used to create different interactive UI patterns.
But these new features, like every other HTML element, must be used the way they are designed and intended to be used in order to get the most out of their inherent capabilities and built-in accessibility. In this talk, we're going to talk about the current state of HTML, its new built-in superpowers, as well as discuss the overall importance of writing HTML as intended to get the most out of its inherent accessibility.
