General notes
Simplifier.net is a platform for user-generated content. While we do our best to facilitate our users in creating accessible content, the flexibility of the platform requires users to check their own generated content for accessibility.
The tree rendering of FHIR resources can be navigated by keyboard when Javascript is enabled:
- Tab until the full tree is selected.
- Then navigate the three rows with the up and down arrows. When using a screen reader this can be done after 'Scan mode' is turned off.
- Tree nodes can be opened/collapsed by selecting the node and pressing Space bar or Enter.
The Details page on a resource and dictionary rendering in an Implementation Guide provide static alternatives.
The Monaco Editor which is embedded in many places on the site provides powerful accessibility features and a dedicated menu which is highlighted when using a screen reader. More information can be found in the Monaco Editor Accessibility Guide.
Changelog
- Nov 30, 2020: First edition published.
- Dec 22, 2020: Accessibility scan completed and major issues resolved.
- Sep 25, 2024: Second edition published.
