Controls

Make it easier for users to interact with added content. Tooltips, drop-down menus, and popups are examples of added content.

If keyboard shortcuts are implemented using only a letter (including upper- and lower-case letters), punctuation, number, or symbol characters, provide a way to turn off or remap character key shortcuts.

People with disabilities rely on interface controls that are used programmatically. These controls have a visual label, as well as a programmatic label, known as its Accessible Name.

Ensure that functions that are triggered by moving a device or by gesturing towards the device can also be operated by more conventional user interface components.

Placement of controls affects their ease of use.

Media player accessibility is essential for video content. Evaluate the accessibility and cross-device compatibility of the media player that comes with your video-distribution platform.

Avoid referring to a button, menu, or other item in the page only by its position on the page; instead, use additional information that describes the content.

Color is a powerful visual means of presenting or distinguishing information, but when you use color to identify or distinguish information, make sure that this information is still available to people who can't perceive color.

Autocomplete widgets can be helpful for accessibility because they can make it easier to enter text by providing suggestions based on the characters initially typed.

Whether you provide controls using standard HTML elements or create custom controls, ensure that controls are given appropriate names.
