a11y Updates for Castos Player

Open edequalsawesome opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

There's a few errors/missing elements that came up when I ran the new HTML5 player through WAVE:

  • Missing alt text for podcast player images
  • Missing alt text for the podcast loading image
  • Missing labels to identify what the <input> fields are in the Subscribe and Share fields
  • Missing explanation text for the Copy buttons

Thanks @edequalsawesome

For my own learning, what is WAVE? Is it something that can be installed locally to test for a11y errors?

@jonathanbossenger It's a website, actually! https://wave.webaim.org/

If you put in a URL of a site (for this, I was using a test site), it will provide you with all the accessibility errors it finds, and gives explanations on what needs to be done to fix them -- it's awesome 😃
