freeCodeCamp's Add an Accessible Date Picker, Accessibility App 2020, We Will Code VIDEO
In this challenge from freeCodeCamp's Applied Accessibility section, we look at the input field a little more closely. In the past, we have looked at input fields with a type attribute set as "submit" or "text". In html5 we learn that the type "date" was added to make filling out a form easier. Filling out a form element will allow the date to pop out in an easily accessible manner. It is better to have the type set to date then text, this will help those with screen readers, but also SEO ranking and site keywords.
