@tubesoft : At the Newton meeting today, Bill said you would be working on these accessibility issues. I requested SiteImprove access for you. Once you have access, you will login using your @iu credentials. If you want to read more about SIteImprove and accessibility, LOGIN to the KB and start here.
Could you have a look at this issue and confirm it's something you can fix? Once you confirm, we can figure out a testing workflow.
I am changing the text color of #018B84 to #007F79, which improves the contrast from 3.86:1 to 4.503711010093676. The color is just becoming a little bit darker. But it's subtle!

After:
@tubesoft : are you verifying the changes with the SiteImprove browser plugin? I am just curious if you are verifying local fixes with the plugin. Thanks!
Another issue is the background of the footer. I am changing it from #BCAB81 to #DFD9BD, which is the same color as the header's background. This improves the contrast from 3.94 to 6.284904266298057.
After:
@mdalmau I actually googled a color contrast checker on the web!
@mdalmau SiteImprove also lists "Enhanced" color contrast requirement. Do I have to work on that too? Or is it optional?
@tubesoft I am not sure what you mean. Can you include a screen shot for "enhanced" color contrast? Thanks!
@mdalmau This is it:
@tubesoft : No -- We only need to fix A and AA issues.
@mdalmau Good to know that! Thanks.
@mdalmau, I fixed the issues and committed, as you can see above.
Since this issue is now part of https://github.com/IUBLibTech/newton_chymistry/pull/146, I will mark this issue as "done" so I can better see the remaining accessibility issues!
313,002 occurrences but this should be one or two small changes in the CSS. One problem is:
IU has a mandate that all web sites published on IU servers must meet WCAG I and II Accessibility requirements. If the requirements are NOT met, sites will be taken down. To learn more about this initiative, visit the Digital Strategy Initiative web site.
