由 落花浮王杯 提交于 2019-12-11 11:56:05
问题 I am trying to make my Ajax-enabled table pagination 508-compliant (accessible using JAWS version 9). I have a table header cell with a link which executes a jQuery ajax request onclick with a callback to update the table. I've had success using a "spacer" image inside the link body with alt text conveying sort information to JAWS users (note: tooltips are not read by default by JAWS) but which is not seen by sighted users. However, when a JAWS user navigates to the link (using the up and

508 Compliance title attribute vs a hidden absolutely positioned label

问题 Is the title attribute ok to use for accesibility when it comes to 508 compliance? For example: <style> #date_box{width:250px; border:2px solid #AAA;} input{width:100px;} </style> <div id="date_box"> <input title="to" type="text" id="to" name="to" /> <label for="from">from</label> <input type="text" id="from" name="from" /> </div> Or is it best to do a hidden label with an absolute position and a negative margin? 回答1: When a visual label on a control is redundant it is OK to use a title

问题 If I want to have a question with a "Yes/No" radio button. How do I need to mark up the code so that a screen reader reads the question associated with the "yes/no" selection instead of just reading the "Yes" and "No" labels when the radio buttons are selected? <span>Did you understand this? (choose one) </span> <label> <input type="radio" id="yes_no" name="yes_no" value="Yes" /> Yes </label> <label> <input type="radio" id="yes_no" name="yes_no" value="No" /> No </label> Thanks 回答1: For form

Google Maps 508 accessibility without styles

问题 One of the requirements of Section 508 is that pages be readable without stylesheets: § 1194.22 (d) Documents shall be organized so they are readable without requiring an associated style sheet. We're currently facing a problem where Google Maps do not work without styles enabled (go figure). All the different pieces of the map just print out in order with no meaning. I've attached a sample image below. Is there any easy way to deal with this? The only thing I can think of is to use

Are Keyboard shortcuts mandatory for 508 compliance

由 心不动则不痛 提交于 2019-12-05 16:09:12
问题 I researched a lot on this and seem to be getting conflicting answers on SO and all of the web. I understand that with Section 508 that compliance DOES NOT equal accessibility. Biggest thing is that the UI/UX designer is being told that keyboard shortcuts for the dropdown menu NEEDS to have keyboard shortcuts to be 508 compliant. I see Windows Forms applications having this, but for web development I do not think that is mandatory to be "compliant" My other question that was answered is here:

Can a site REQUIRE Javascript and still be Section 508-compliant?

由 随声附和 提交于 2019-12-03 16:32:37
问题 I think I understand HOW Javascript has to work in order to be O.K. for section 508. But I have been unable to find an answer to a related question: does my site need to work WITHOUT Javascript in order to be section 508 compliant? To take an extreme case, if users without Javascript cannot log in, does that violate section 508 compliance? And if so, where in the text is that explained? I know that all content has to be accessible with screenreaders, for keyboard-with-no-mouse users, etc. BUT
