Space Jamming Accessibility
summary
Compares the original 1996 Space Jam site that survives keyboard and screen‑reader checks with the 2021 marketing site that fails them; demos use keyboard navigation, Apple VoiceOver and JAWS and show VoiceOver ~5% vs JAWS ~50% market share; a yellow close control is a div with no role name, tabindex or keyboard handlers so it won’t close with Enter/Space; changing the div into a real button (or adding role/name/focus and key handlers) makes it work and fixes the accessibility regression.
