Wait till I come! » Blog Archive » Generating charts from accessible data tables and vice versa using the Google Charts API

Google have lately been praised for their chart API and my esteemed colleague Ed Eliot has a workaround for its restrictions in terms of caching and server hits. I played around a bit with it and thought it very cool but it felt a bit clunky to add all these values to a URL when they could be in the document for those who cannot see pie charts.

The code has been reworked and most of the Google-specific features removed, which means it should work for just about any site that chooses to use it.

Juicy Studio: New Improved Colour Contrast Firefox Extension

by 2 others
One of the updates from the draft Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 is a change to the algorithm to determine whether the contrast between foreground and background colours is sufficient . As well as updating the algorithm itself, the thresholds have changed to consider large and bold text (at least 18 point or 14 point bold). I've updated the Colour Contrast Firefox Extension to incorporate the changes.
