Event description: 

Please join the Accessibility team on Tuesday, June 2, via Zoom, to discuss “Semantic HTML: Is it a Button or a Link?” We’ll explain the benefits of using Plain Old Semantic HTML (POSH) in our front-end creations and why ARIA should only be used as a garnish.
Styling with CSS and

elements alone will provide meaning to visual users, but this approach is not helpful for screen reader users (and search engines!). Semantic HTML allows for screen reader functionality out of the box. It’s important to consider the purpose of each element on a page and then choose the correct HTML element for that purpose. We’ll demonstrate with screen readers and have an open discussion at the end. Hope to see you there! Zoom Link available through Yale’s Training and Management System (TMS).
