Release Notes

Fixes for false accessibility failures: on themes that hide a no-JavaScript fallback once scripts run, and on hidden <select> elements.

Fixed

  • The accessibility checks that skip hidden controls (a11y/form-labels, a11y/aria-input-field-name, a11y/select-name, a11y/aria-labels, a11y/aria-command-name, a11y/aria-dialog-name, a11y/button-name and a11y/aria-hidden-focus) now report a control they would have decided was shown (an unnamed control, or a focusable one inside aria-hidden) as unconfirmed, not as a failure, when it or an ancestor other than <html> or <body> has a no-js class and squirrel could not read all of the page's styles (for example, an external stylesheet or an @import). Themes may hide such a fallback once JavaScript runs, with a rule like .js .no-js { display: none } in a stylesheet squirrel does not read. Items unconfirmed this way say so: it or an ancestor carries a no-js class, and a stylesheet squirrel did not read may hide it when JavaScript runs. A page whose styles were all read, a control with no such class, another class such as no-js-fallback, and a no-js class on <html> itself keep their verdict. See a11y/form-labels.
  • a11y/select-name now reads which selects are out of the accessibility tree the way the other naming checks do. An unnamed select that the hidden attribute, aria-hidden="true", a closed dialog, or a display: none squirrel can settle (inline or in a page <style> rule) keeps hidden is no longer reported. One a style may hide, a no-js fallback on a page with unread styles included, is reported as select-name-unconfirmed (a warning) instead of a failure. An unnamed select squirrel reads as shown still fails, and one hidden only by an external stylesheet is still reported. See a11y/select-name.
