## Description
|
|
<section id='description'>
|
|
Have you noticed that all of the applied accessibility challenges so far haven't used any CSS? This is to show the importance of a logical document outline, and using semantically meaningful tags around your content before introducing the visual design aspect.
|
|
However, CSS's magic can also improve accessibility on your page when you want to visually hide content meant only for screen readers. This happens when information is in a visual format (like a chart), but screen reader users need an alternative presentation (like a table) to access the data. CSS is used to position the screen reader-only elements off the visual area of the browser window.
|
|
Here's an example of the CSS rules that accomplish this:
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
.sr-only {
|
|
position: absolute;
|
|
left: -10000px;
|
|
width: 1px;
|
|
height: 1px;
|
|
top: auto;
|
|
overflow: hidden;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<strong>Note:</strong> The following CSS approaches will NOT do the same thing:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>display: none;</code> or <code>visibility: hidden;</code> hides content for everyone, including screen reader users</li>
|
|
<li>Zero values for pixel sizes, such as <code>width: 0px; height: 0px;</code> removes that element from the flow of your document, meaning screen readers will ignore it</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</section>
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
<section id='instructions'>
|
|
Camper Cat created a really cool stacked bar chart for his training page, and put the data into a table for his visually impaired users. The table already has an <code>sr-only</code> class, but the CSS rules aren't filled in yet. Give the <code>position</code> an absolute value, the <code>left</code> a -10000px value, and the <code>width</code> and <code>height</code> both 1px values.
|
|
</section>
|
|
|
|
## Tests
|
|
<section id='tests'>
|
|
|
|
```yml
|
|
tests:
|
|
- text: Your code should set the <code>position</code> property of the <code>sr-only</code> class to a value of absolute.
|
|
testString: assert($('.sr-only').css('position') == 'absolute');
|
|
- text: Your code should set the <code>left</code> property of the <code>sr-only</code> class to a value of -10000px.
|
|
testString: assert($('.sr-only').css('left') == '-10000px');
|
|
- text: Your code should set the <code>width</code> property of the <code>sr-only</code> class to a value of 1 pixel.
|
|
testString: assert(code.match(/width:\s*?1px/gi));
|
|
- text: Your code should set the <code>height</code> property of the <code>sr-only</code> class to a value of 1 pixel.
|
|
testString: assert(code.match(/height:\s*?1px/gi));
|
|
|
|
```
