Closed CR96 closed 3 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. This button will allow easier access to the main page content when using a screen reader.

Describe the solution you'd like Add a "skip to main content" button.

Hi @CR96 Just to be clear - you mean a button in the top bar navigation, early on, so that a screen reader doesn't re-read the headings on every page, which would be repetitive and boring for people using a screen reader?

Are there examples of this sort of button out there? is it a 'hidden' button that is only visible to a screen reader?

CR96 commented 4 years ago

@Sheeri Exactly that. Generally they're hidden until they're focused, usually through CSS styling that positions the button offscreen. GitHub has one that appears when using tab navigation.

I implemented this on another project a few years back: https://github.com/Jasig/uPortal/pull/882

Perfect! then yes, this is a great issue to work on. Would you like to be assigned to it?

CR96 commented 4 years ago

@Sheeri I'll wait until after Hacktoberfest is over, then take this if nobody claims it. I have my pull requests so I'll give someone else a chance at a last-minute PR! :)

@CR96 That's awesome! I will come back around Monday if nobody has asked for it yet. I love that you are making sure everyone can be included!
