About the Session
When googling web accessibility you can easily see the trend of discussions around the use of “native HTML elements” over JavaScript frameworks custom element approach. If you have ever gotten lost down the rabbit hole of trying to understand why? this talk aims to fill in the blanks by discussing the technical reasoning behind the "Native HTML" approach.
Lets be honest, most developers have heard about the Document Object Model in browsers, but it’s rare to hear people talk about the role that the Accessibility API has within the DOM. In this talk we will unpack the mystery of how the browser DOM interacts with the Accessibility API, and help explain how HTML elements are used for interpretation of your website by assistive technologies.
No high level code will be shown but there will be flowcharts aimed at providing an understanding of why the way the code is written in HTML impacts how the Accessibility API will be able to interpret it.
