Criticalalt text should not contain placeholders like 'picture' or 'spacer'. WCAG 2.2 A F30 Section 508 (2017) A F30 1 pages

Impact on users:

  • JAWS : Reads out placeholder text, instead of a useful image description.
  • NVDA : Reads out placeholder text, instead of a useful image description.
  • VoiceOver : Reads out placeholder text, instead of a useful image description.

CriticalLink uses general text like 'Click Here' with no surrounding text explaining link purpose. WCAG 2.2 A F63 Section 508 (2017) A F63 5 pages
Screen reader users use text around links to help understand what the link does. If the link text is very general, and there's no surrounding text, there's no way to work out what the link does. Either use a descriptive link label (which helps all users) or add an aria-label or aria-describedby to the link (which helps screen reader users). 2.4.4 2.4.9

A programmatically determined name allows screen readers to tell users what the control does. To add a name do one of the following:

  • Add text between the button start and end tags
  • Add a title attribute
  • Add an aria-label attribute
  • Add an aria-labelledby attribute
  • Add an img alt attribute if the button contains an img element

  • The contrast ratio should be 3.0 or more for 18 point text, or larger

Very ImportantIf you set any of the colors on the body or a elements you must set all of them. WCAG 2.2 AA F24 Section 508 (2017) AA F24 1 pages
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 white text on a white background. 1.4.3 1.4.6 1.4.8

ImportantAvoid specifying a new window as the target of a link with target=_blank. WCAG 2.2 AAA F22 1 pages
Displaying new windows without warning can be very confusing to non-sighted and mobile users. Some screen readers and mobile devices give very little indication a new tab or window has opened. If you cannot avoid displaying a new window, insert an "opens in a new window" warning into the link text or add the warning to the link using a title attribute or aria-describedby attribute. 3.2.5

ImportantLink uses non-descriptive text like 'Click Here' which doesn't explain link purpose. WCAG 2.2 AAA F84 2 pages
Screen reader users often tab from one link to the next, or use the 'Next Link' command. Moving between links labelled 'click here' sounds like 'Click here, tab, click here, tab, click here'. Change the link text, or add an aria-label, so the link makes sense when read without the surrounding text. 2.4.9
