The radio and checkbox buttons are not getting rendered in a Spotify app. - spotify

I'm trying to use HTML radio buttons in my Spotify app.
When the Inspector tool is used, the code for radio button is present there, but the radio button is not getting rendered in the browser inside the Spotify client. I am also getting the same result for the checkbox.
The same code is used with normal browsers like IE, Mozilla, or Chrome and the radio button gets rendered without any trouble.
Can anybody tell me why the radio button is not getting rendered in the sandboxed browser inside the Spotify client?
Thanks,

When looking at the radio button in the inspector, you can see that the input tag is getting the -webkit-appearance:none attribute set in the sp://import/css/shared.css and sp://import/css/reset.css files.
button, input, textarea {
-webkit-appearance: none;
font-family: inherit;
font-size: 12px;
}
The sp://import/css/adam.css and sp://import/css/eve.css files import the sp://import/css/shared.css file, which is how you are probably getting that attribute. The behavior only exists for the radio and checkbox types because the other input types are overridden elsewhere.
Tip: If you view the css attributes in the inspector, you can actually check them to remove or re-add the style.
Solution:
<input type="radio" style="-webkit-appearance:radio" />
<input type="checkbox" style="-webkit-appearance:checkbox" />
Be warned: It may have been the intention of the developers to not show radio/checkbox buttons, so your app may have approval issues because of the UI guidelines.

HREF target='_blank' does not work in Chrome 79

Using simple HTML code, no JavaScript, nothing fancy, I use this HREF
Click here
Clicking on the link in IE, FireFox, Edge does open a new tab for https://www.example.com on click. In Chrome (version 79), the click just redisplays the current page.
This happens on Chrome desktop and phone (Android). There are no add-ins to my installation of Chrome; no popup or ad blocking installed.
Why doesn't Chrome open a new tab when target="_blank" is used? Thanks.
Added
The issue seems to be with an HREF being inside a FORM element. The FORM element is as follows:
<form action='' method='post'>
An HREF with target="_blank" outside the FORM element works properly. Just not inside the FORM element.
But still puzzled as to why that would be the case...and for a workaround or solution.
Added more - plus code
There's a button inside the form, and the button contains an image, and the link in the button will not open up a new tab.
Simple form with the button
<form action='' method='post'>
<p>inside the form</p>
<p><button><img src="https://via.placeholder.com/150 " width="24" height="24" class='button_img' alt='delete' /> that's a button</button></p>
<p><button>that's a button </button></p>
</form>
So, with even further testing, the click to open a new tab won't work in Chrome when the HREF is wrapped around an button with an image inside a form. But works in FireFox and Edge.
Why?
There are four image/buttons inside the form. The fourth one is the HREF/blank. Items 1-2-3 are form submittals; values need to be passed to the form processing page. The 4th item doesn't need to be processed by the form, but it is inside the form so that all four items will be on the same line. If I place the 4th (HREF/blank) outside of the form, then the 4th item is wrapped around to the next line.

The <button> tag cannot be opened in a new tab the same way an <a> does.
You can use this instead:
<p>
<button onClick="window.open('https://www.bklnk.com/B004RVZRL0');">
<img src="https://via.placeholder.com/150 " width="24" height="24" class='button_img' alt='delete' />
that's a button
</button>

MetisMenue does not collapse well on mobile view SB Admin 2

I use the "SB Admin 2" Theme for a project.
The integratet Metis Menu works very well on desktop, also on tablet.
But when I visit the page with my phone, the menu doesn't hide completely.
Only when I scroll the page.
You can visit https://blackrockdigital.github.io/startbootstrap-sb-admin-2/pages/index.html to test ist.
If you shrink the browser as far as its like a mobile screen, the menu does not hide.
I tried to do it on the bottom of my index.html file with $('#side-menu').metisMenu('collapse'); but it does not work. This is also defined in the sb-admin-2.js file. But it doenst work either.
Can you help me to get the menu hide completly, even on mobile devices?
Try downgrading the JQuery version to 2.1.3:
https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.3.min.js
There are issues with metismenu with newer Jquery versions:
https://github.com/onokumus/metismenu/issues/128
You can do this with hiding it with css only
.navbar-top-links {
display: none
}
Or if you don't want to hide it always only on button click. Create a new button with these attributes before your current unordered list (ul)
<button type="button" class="collapse-2" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse2" aria-expanded="true">
And replace this code
<ul class="nav navbar-top-links navbar-right">
With this code
<ul class="nav navbar-top-links navbar-right navbar-expand-sm navbar-collapse panel-collapse collapse" id="collapse2">
I managed to get it working like this only you have to style the button and place it in the correct position.

VoiceOver: How to prevent users from accessing objects outside the menu?

If you visit www.arbetsformedlingen.se from a mobile, you will find a menu.
If you open that menu, you can only access items within that menu since tapping outside of the menu will close the menu.
If you for some reason are using a keyboard, you cannot tab out of
that menu.
However, visitors who uses the screen reader VoiceOver in IOS can simply move out of that menu by using the swipe left/right gestures to access the previous/next object in the DOM.
Question: Is there some way to prevent those users to access objects outside of the menu when the menu is visible?
An unsuitable solution due to the CMS would be to place the main content and the menu on the same node level, like in the simplified code below:
<body>
<div class=”maincontent” aria-hidden=”false”>
// Main content.
</div>
<div class=”mobilemenu” aria-hidden=”true” style="display:none">
// Menu.
</div>
</body>
When the menu is opened, the aria-hidden and display:none are toggled in order to just show the page contents or the menu.
Another unsuitable solution would be to toggle aria-hidden to every other object when the menu is opened, but that is impossible due to performance issues.
So, any piece of advice, thoughts etc are very welcome!!!
Using HTML5, you can set the "tab-index" to positive numbers on the elements within the menu. This will set focus to those elements. `
<div class="menu-container">
<div class="menu">
<div tabindex="1">Menu Item 1</div>
<div tabindex="2">Menu Item 2</div>
<div tabindex="2">Menu Item 3</div>
</div>
</div>
This may not be the best solution depending on what your trying to accomplish and what your code structure looks like.
You'll want to be sure to use the "tab-index" attribute correctly as to not break accessibility.

Unable to click radio button in Internet explorer using Selenium webdriver

I am not able to get the radio button clicked using Selenium web driver.
The html is as follows
<input name="PersonalDetails.Paperless" class="input-validation-error" id="Paperless" type="radio" data-val-required="Contract notes selection is required" data-val="true" value="true"/>
The code to click is below. It works in Chrome and FireFox but not in Ie
driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("label[for='OnlineAndPost']")).Click();
It is better to keep it as simple as possible for IE, especially when you are dealing with CSS selectors, get the element by Id:
driver.FindElement(By.Id("Paperless")).Click();

How to set <aui:button> icon in Liferay without using Javascript?

I'm trying to set icon to <aui:button> like on this tutorial.
But solution described there doesn't work well in my case, because I have a table and on each row I have a button with different resourceUrl. Like this:
<portlet:resourceURL id="saveReport" var="saveReportURL">
<portlet:param name="reportId" value="${report.reportId}" />
</portlet:resourceURL>
<aui:button onclick="location.href = '${saveReportURL}'">
Is it possible to set icon in <aui:button> without using JavaScript as described in tutorial?
Thanks
You can write this below code for setting icon in liferay alloy button
<aui:button type="cancel" cssClass="btn-info" icon="icon-upload-alt" iconAlign="right" value="upload" />
you need to use the icon attribute for this setting "Icon glyphs"
you need to use cssClass for adding extra design button class for the designing
you need to set iconAlign attribute for left or right side of the button text value
You should be able to add an icon to a button without using JavaScript by adding one of these Icon CSS classes to your button. For example, if you wanted to create a button with a calendar icon, your code should look something like this:
<aui:button class="icon-calendar" ... />
