Any way you would make a pop-up accessibility-friendly ? </p> <p>Thanks in advance ! </p> webdev ux a11y Baudouin Van Humbeeck Sat, 08 Oct 2022 09:26:44 +0000 https://dev.to/baudouinvh/pet-peeve-the-contactmailto-imbroglio-20h7 https://dev.to/baudouinvh/pet-peeve-the-contactmailto-imbroglio-20h7 <p>I'm sick and tired of clicking on a link that says "contact" only to see may email client launching. I've clicked on yet another mailto:link and I was expecting a contact form. </p> <p>Could we find a way (an icon ?) that shows when a link is a mailto: link ? </p> <p>How exactly do you expect a "contact" link to behave : mailto: or contact form ?</p> webdev html ux
