Hi,
Here's a status of the past few days I have spent looking at fixing our pages so that we pass the WCAG 1.0 tests (the automated part of it).
* I've fixed the home page so no more issues in it
And when I thought we were done with the home page, I've found a new tool that reports 79 important problems.... Basically there are 3 categories of problems remaining: 1) using noscript as alternative to <script> - level 1 pb 2) bad resizing behavior (like fixed character size or fixed space between lines instead of relative values) - level 2 pb 3) colors too close to each other for people affected by cataract, protanopia, deuteranopia or tritanopia. For ex it says: "There is insufficient contrast between the text color (#4d4d4d) and the background color (#005a83)." (to see the color: http://www.colorcombos.com/combotester.html?color0=005B9A&color1=0191C8&&sho... ) For 3) I think we could provide special color themes. We'd need for a user to be able to define the theme to use though (instead of it being only a global option). The tool that I've used to find these is: http://www.fujitsu.com/global/accessibility/assistance/wi/ Help is welcome... I especially need help for 2) in order to modify our colibri CSS so that text resizes work in the browser. Thanks -Vincent
* I've tested the other pages using http://www.tawdis.net/ingles.html?lang=en and here's the results: - priority 1: only 2 issues - priority 2: about 162 * 7 = 1134 issues - priority 3: about 120 issues
That's quite a lot but they are easy to fix. Most of them are about: - tables missing summary attributes - associate labels with <input> (using a <for>)
In order to reproduce it's very easy. Use this link to run TAW: http://www.tawdis.net/taw3/descargas/jws/es/taw3.jnlp
Then run XE locally and feed it to TAW.
I need help to fix all these remaining issues.
Who can help me?
Thanks -Vincent
Note that the Dutch guidelines add a bit more to WCAG 1.0 but not much and passing WCAG is already a good first step.
