Good morning,
Just wondering if there is an option for read more for Elements please? Snippet, Component etc. Cheers Justin

Sadly “Read More” on its own does not meet new accessibility standards see here for help on what needs to be added: https://www.gov.uk/service-manual/helping-people-to-use-your-service/understanding-wcag
Thank you, Paul, hopefully slightly different here in Australia ![]()
FYI - In Australia, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA is the mandatory standard for government websites and a crucial benchmark for compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA). While primarily mandated for public sector agencies, compliance is strongly encouraged for the private sector to avoid legal risks related to discrimination
So might have to be a button link to another page or tabs. Thanks again Paul
I think that “read more” doesn’t mean anything to accessibility programmes as its not descriptive so I think if you put “read more about whatever the subject is” thats acceptable as it gives the reader the option to say yes or no. I am not an expert on this but @guywoodland is your main man and I know he is on here. He’s very knowledgable and helpful in this subject. Good Luck!
Cheers
Read more is a link and a link is always better if it has a tittle which describes the link and provides information telling the user if by clicking on the link you stay in the current window or if you are going to a new window.
Guy Thanks for this! Hope you OK? perhaps you need to do a post with some of the basic accessibility things to look out for in our designs! Take Care!
Hi Guy, thanks for the response. Understand the purpose I was just trying to find code or a shortcut for using in Elements. Cheers Justin
@Hocko, I put together a quick example of this for @llangpierce earlier this year!
Take a look at my post below for an example project and video…
Let me know how you get on ![]()
@dan your project is great however not compliant!
when a person has an accessibility reader on “read more”, “go back” ,“hide” etc. are non compliant because e.g a blind person has no clue whether to say yes or no as they do not know where they are going to, thats why I added first post about “read more” not being compliant. I understand your example is an expander and we can change it to whatever, which is great, but accessibility is a big thing now in web design and a lot of people may not be aware. TIA
Thank you, Dan, appreciate! Cheers Justin
Totally, understand @PMUK what solutions do you use to overcome the issue of the text becoming to long for a section or overall webpage? Cheers Justin
Sadly I am not an expert but have known @guywoodland for many years and he is, perhaps he could answer your question better? TIA
This is an example of code
a class=“blog-link” href=" What We Do " title=“link which will open in this window opening an article titled What We Do”
But I haven’t used elements yet so not sure how to implement?
Guy thanks you’re a star and it’s about time you stated your Elements journey, now store open the old RW Developers are coming on board day by day too! This community is great and helpful too! Take Care!
Cheers Guy
