"Yank" suspicious attributes from the DOM

In accessibility, sometimes, no ARIA is better than bad ARIA.

YANKI let's you remove suspicious attributes from the DOM, then test the page to see if accessibility is better with the problematic attributes removed.

Which Attributes?

YANKI can remove any attribute! It will temporarily remove all instances of the attribute from the DOM.

A few examples of how an Accessibility Tester might use YANKI:

role

• Removing role attributes that are improperly applied, can sometimes improve screen reader behavior.

tabindex

• Removing tabindex greater than zero (tabindex="1", tabindex="2", tabindex="3") can resolve issues that relating to illogical tab order.
• Removing tabindex="-1" is helpful when it is improperly applied to elements that need to be in the tab order.
• Removing tabindex="0" from non-interactive elements can often improve efficiency of the tab order for keyboard users.

aria-*

• Removing aria-* attributes (aria-label, aria-labelledby, aria-describedby) can sometimes eliminate screen reader verbosity issues.
