Example of a CAPTCHA image with the words “Following” and “Finding” which must be entered into an associated field[/caption]. CAPTCHA is also not as effective as some may believe. Automated means of beating CAPTCHA have around since 2003. As CAPTCHA techniques advance, so do the means of beating them. There are even services which will employ humans to beat CAPTCHAs. This ...

A Challenge to Accessibility Testing Tool Vendors – Karl Groves
http://www.karlgroves.com/2012/10/03/a-challenge-to-accessibility-testing-tool-vendors
Web accessibility consultant, web developer, and viking. A Challenge to Accessibility Testing Tool Vendors. October 3, 2012. I am frequently asked by clients, potential clients, or people in the accessibility community which tools I’d recommend for them. My answer, historically, has usually been a very diplomatic “well, it depends on what your needs are”. That’s still the answer, but from now on, I will base my direct recommendations based on the following 5 simple criteria. Test the Browser DOM. So it i...

18 Years in: The basics still matter – Karl Groves
http://www.karlgroves.com/2015/02/14/18-years-in-the-basics-still-matter
Web accessibility consultant, web developer, and viking. 18 Years in: The basics still matter. February 14, 2015. I got into web development in the late 90s. By that time, the Web Accessibility Initiative was well on its way to trying to make the web more accessible. In that time we’ve seen the rise (and fall) of many new technologies on the web and many new devices used to consume and create web content and yet accessibility is still an area that sees little attention in the mainstream. Where I will dis...

Web accessibility consultant, web developer, and viking. Re) Announcing A11yBuzz.com. September 8, 2014. On July 30, 2011 I posted My Challenge to the Accessibility Community: We Need an Accessibility Body of Knowledge. In which I lamented:. The fact that there is no single source to get good, clear, peer-reviewed information on this topic is, in my opinion, a very huge barrier which prevents “outsiders” from participating in accessible development. And A11yBuzz just withered away. This August, Joe Dolson.

This one secret will save you $100,000 on accessibility – Karl Groves
http://www.karlgroves.com/2014/09/29/this-one-secret-will-save-you-100000-on-accessibility
Web accessibility consultant, web developer, and viking. This one secret will save you $100,000 on accessibility. September 29, 2014. I’ve historically been very critical of the various Business Case arguments for accessibility. Given their lack of actual evidence. There’s one business case argument that I think is rock solid: The cost of remediation. Average cost per defect = ( number of devs * number of hours ) * fully loaded dev cost per hour) / total bugs to be fixed. So what’s the cost? If you are i...

The form field validation trick they don’t want you to know – Karl Groves
http://www.karlgroves.com/2014/09/17/the-form-field-validation-trick-they-dont-want-you-to-know
Web accessibility consultant, web developer, and viking. The form field validation trick they don’t want you to know. September 17, 2014. Yes, that was a purposefully click-bait headline. Because so many things require string manipulation most, if not all, programming languages have some mechanism of finding, substituting, or removing sub-strings, often through the use of Regular Expressions. Here are some examples, shamelessly stolen from Code Codex. Include string.h while (i! Sreplace(/ D/g, " );.
