| Criteria |
Supporting Features |
Remarks and Explanations |
| (a) A text equivalent for every non-text element shall be provided (e.g., via "alt", "longdesc", or in element content). |
Supported with minor exceptions |
|
| (b) Equivalent alternatives for any multimedia presentation shall be synchronized with the presentation. |
Not Applicable |
|
| (c) Web pages shall be designed so that all information conveyed with color is also available without color, for example from context or markup. |
Supported |
|
| (d) Documents shall be organized so they are readable without requiring an associated style sheet. |
Supported |
|
| (e) Redundant text links shall be provided for each active region of a server-side image map. |
Not applicable |
|
| (f) Client-side image maps shall be provided instead of server-side image maps except where the regions cannot be defined with an available geometric shape. |
Supported |
|
| (g) Row and column headers shall be identified for data tables. |
Row and column headers are not identified in tables, and there is no workaround for this limitation. |
|
| (h) Markup shall be used to associate data cells and header cells for data tables that have two or more logical levels of row or column headers. |
Data cells and header cells are not marked, and there is no workaround. |
|
| (i) Frames shall be titled with text that facilitates frame identification and navigation |
Supported |
|
| (j) Pages shall be designed to avoid causing the screen to flicker with a frequency greater than 2 Hz and lower than 55 Hz. |
Supported |
|
| (k) A text-only page, with equivalent information or functionality, shall be provided to make a web site comply with the provisions of this part, when compliance cannot be accomplished in any other way. The content of the text-only page shall be updated whenever the primary page changes. |
Not Applicable |
|
| (l) When pages utilize scripting languages to display content, or to create interface elements, the information provided by the script shall be identified with functional text that can be read by assistive technology. |
Supported. While clearly indicating function, associated text may in some cases be ambiguous. |
|
| (m) When a web page requires that an applet, plug-in or other application be present on the client system to interpret page content, the page must provide a link to a plug-in or applet that complies with §1194.21(a) through (l). |
Not applicable |
|
| (n) When electronic forms are designed to be completed on-line, the form shall allow people using Assistive Technology to access the information, field elements, and functionality required for completion and submission of the form, including all directions and cues. |
In some cases, input controls may not be clearly associated with labels and other textual cues. |
|
| (o) A method shall be provided that permits users to skip repetitive navigation links. |
Supported. |
Frames are used to isolate navigation from content elements. In some cases, users who navigate with the keyboard must tab through lists manually from the beginning to get to their data. One option for avoiding these tasks is to use the browser’s text search function to skip to known terms on the Web page. |
| (p) When a timed response is required, the user shall be alerted and given sufficient time to indicate more time is required. |
Not Applicable |
