Combobox Date Picker Example: Change previous and next month and year behavior for dates near end of month (pull #2618)
By Jon Gunderson on April 03, 2023
Provides partial resolution of #2581. The remainder of the resolution is provided by #2643.
This PR changes behavior of commands for next and previous month and year In the combobox date picker when the currently focused date does not exist in the previous or next month or year. With these changes, if the same day number does not exist in the newly displayed month, the last day of the newly displayed month receives focus.

Resolves #2284 and #2257 with the following changes:
- Changes CSS so it defines tab width as a percentage of screen width. This prevents screen magnification from causing horizontal scrolling. As the screen is magnified ,the height of the tabs increases and the tab content reflows to fit the new dimensions.
- Adds explanation of the use of percentage to the Accessibility Features section.

Resolve issue #2512 by adding the following note to principles of landmark design:
Note that wrapping the content of a modal dialog in a landmark region is unnecessary. A landmark that wraps modal content cannot provide any benefit to users because it is not perceivable unless the modal is open. In addition, when a modal is open, a landmark containing its content is superfluous because the modal itself is a container that provides both a name and boundaries.

Accessible Names Practice: Recommend association via 'for' attribute when using 'label' element (pull #2882)
By Matt King on December 18, 2023
Resolves issue #2870 by revising the content of the section describing usage of the HTML label element. Revisions include:

forattribute technique before the description of the encapsulation technique. - Note that using the
forattribute is known as 'explicit association' and using encapsulation is known as 'implicit association'. - State that explicit association has better AT/browser support than implicit association.

Changes the images used for star ratings of restaurants in the feed example to inline SVG. Because the build process that converts to Jekyll for the production site separates images into a separate path, the links to the dynamically loaded image assets were being broken by the build process. With this change, the JavaScript is no longer dependent on paths to image files.

For Control+Home and Control+End, The text in the treegrid pattern differed from the text in the treegrid example. The text in the treegrid pattern didn't make sense because a column only contains one cell so moving focus to the first cell in a column is meaningless. The behaviour and text on the example page are consistent and make logical sense. This commit makes the pattern and example pages consistent with each other.
Inaccurate text: If focus is on a cell, moves focus to the first cell in the column. If focus is on a cell, moves focus to the last cell in the column.
Corrected text: If focus is on a cell, moves focus to the cell in the first row in the same column as the cell that had focus. If focus is on a cell, moves focus to the cell in the last row in the same column as the cell that had focus.

By Howard Edwards on July 25, 2023
Regression tests failed to run with Node V17, so we temporarily pinned the version to 16. This is an alternative fix that enables running with node V17+.
This commit unpins the node version and replaces references to localhost with 127.0.0.1.
Node v17+ deprioritised IPv4 addresses in favour of IPv6 with a change to dns.setDefaultResultOrder. Node made this change without a happy-eyeballs implementation, which meant the loopback address used when running the regression tests resolved to ::1 rather than the IPv4 loopback (127.0.0.1) -- the address geckodriver expected. So this PR now explicitly uses 127.0.0.1. Alternatively, we could have added --dns-result-order=ipv4first to the running script, or added dns.setDefaultResultOrder('ipv4first');, but would eventually remove it as the happy-eyeballs implementation is now included in v20.
