Hi Paul,
My sincere apologies for the delayed response on the below. I basically had to drop everything due to a family emergency that took all of my attention the first few weeks of September. In any case, I am just now trying to circle back around on, well, everything. So, to answer your question below, from what I understand no e-readers can read native select dropdowns, but perhaps I’m wrong. Have you had a different experience with this? I just know that the Chrome e-reader can not read the Squarespace dropdowns and I was hopeful that the Userway widget would be able to, but it unfortunately does not as you’ve experienced.
So, the link to the custom code that I found online is here: https://dev.to/emmawedekind/creating-a-custom-accessible-drop-down-3gmo
So I guess at this point I’m wondering, is it even possible to make a change to Squarespace’s template for something like this? And if yes, do you suggest I hire someone to do it or is it as simple as just inserting Emma Wedekind’s custom code into the template?
Any feedback is so appreciated since this is the only hurdle in making our site fully ADA accessible at this point. Although I did just realize that the menu links also do not work with an e-reader but I can fix that myself :).
Anyway, thanks so much!
Kathryn Graham
