CriticalEach A tag must contain text or an IMG with an ALT attribute.WCAG 2.0 A F89
Add text to the link, or ALT text if the link contains an image. If there is no link text or the ALT tag is blank, screen readers have nothing to read, so read out the URL instead.

Link A elements labelled with a TITLE attribute, and only containing an image don't work in:

  • WindowEyes 8.4 with IE11 (the link HREF is read instead)
  • VoiceOver on OSX 10.9 (the image filename is read instead)

CriticalNo TITLE attributes found for the frames on these pages.Section 508 1194.22 (i) WCAG 2.0 A 2.4.1
Add a TITLE attribute to each FRAME and IFRAME element (e.g. TITLE="Main Content"). Without a TITLE some screen readers read out the FRAME filename, which is usually meaningless.

IFRAMEs with no title cause problems in:

  • JAWS 14 and 15 with Firefox (the frame SRC filename is read instead)
  • VoiceOver on OSX 10.9 (a meaningless title like "Frame twelve" is read out)

  • Use a LABEL element with the FOR attribute set to the ID of the form control
  • Wrap a LABEL element around the form control

CriticalThis form has fields without LABEL elements or TITLE attributes.Section 508 1194.22 (n)
Screen readers use LABEL elements or TITLE attributes to describe form fields to non-sighted users. Without these, forms are very hard to use with a screen reader. Forms designed to be completed online 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.

Priority 2 Issues (Level AA)

Very ImportantIf you set any of the colors on the BODY or A elements you must set all of them.WCAG 2.0 AA F24
In HTML the color attributes are TEXT, BGCOLOR, LINK, ALINK and VLINK. In CSS the attributes are COLOR and BACKGROUND-COLOR. Some users have browser defaults set to white text on a black background, so setting one color without setting the others can result in black text on a black background.

Very ImportantUse relative rather than absolute units in CSS property values.WCAG 2.0 AA 1.4.4
Absolute units are CM, MM, IN, PC and PT. When used with fonts PX is also considered an absolute unit, because it isn't relative the user's preferred font size. Low-vision users often use the "large fonts" mode of Windows, which makes each pixel larger than usual. This usually causes problems with pixel based layouts, which also perform badly on handheld and widescreen displays. Percentage values "stretch" according to screen size and work on a large range of display sizes.
