Hi all,
I had a little free time today and so I made a minor upgrade to the tips
area.
A. I was using pre tags and displaying the submitted tip just as the submitter
entered it. Therefore a paragraph was considered a single line visually, not to
a screen reader. So sighted users would have to scroll horizontally, something
that is very unappealing. I now interpret single line breaks as br tags and two
line breaks as p tags. So double line breaks makes a new "paragraph" whereas a
single line break just forces the text to the next line.
B. The application/version was being run together. I had a space separating the
two variables that hold that data in the code and it should have been displayed
correctly, but for some reason it wasn't. So I added a dash in between the two
to force a separation. Screen reader users should no longer hear Kurzweil100010
*grin*
There are a couple of tips that are in the wrong application category on the
website. I'll fix that sometime. It will require me to manually edit the
database as I didn't code a web based way to do it.
Cheers!
Jake
