Fixing Stubborn Accessibility Problems with JavaScript

Making your websites accessible has never been more important and urgent as it is now. But WordPress doesn’t always make it easy to fix some of the most pressing issues. Tab order, focus borders, aria labels, and many other aspects of a web page tend to be beyond the reach of the dashboard interface. But using a few lines of JavaScript, most of these problems are easily fixed, even for a user who doesn’t understand JavaScript. I will provide code snippets that a lay user can insert into a Gutenberg code block and provide a demonstration on how to customize that code block to fix some common and tricky accessibility problems.
