@getdmk777: Why your custom dropdown is breaking screen readers?? If you're building a custom select menu with

elements instead of native HTML, you could be violating WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value). Without proper semantics, screen readers can't tell users whether the dropdown is expanded or collapsed, making navigation confusing or even impossible for blind users. ✅ Use native HTML elements whenever possible. ✅ If you build custom components, add the correct ARIA roles and update states like aria-expanded dynamically. Accessibility isn't an extra feature—it's part of building usable, inclusive web experiences. #WebAccessibility #Accessibility #A11y #WCAG #WCAG22 #ScreenReader #InclusiveDesign #FrontendDevelopment #WebDevelopment #HTML #ARIA #JavaScript #UX #UI #AccessibleWeb #DigitalAccessibility #CodingTips #Developers #TechTok
