Arkansas
Website Accessibility Standards
(5.1 - 5.15)
- Provide a text equivalent
for every non-text element (e.g., via alt, longdesc, or in element content).
This includes: images, graphical representations of text (including
symbols), image map regions, animations (e.g., animated GIFs), applets,
and programmatic objects, ASCII art, frames, scripts, images used as
list bullets, spacers, graphical buttons, sounds (played with or without
user interaction), stand-alone audio files, audio tracks of video, and
video.
- Clearly identify the target
of each link.
- Ensure that pages are usable
when scripts, applets, or other programmatic objects are turned off
or not supported. If this is not possible, provide equivalent information
on an alternative accessible page.
- If, after best efforts,
you cannot create an accessible page, provide a link to an alternative
page that uses W3C technologies, is accessible, has equivalent information
(or functionality), and is updated as often as the inaccessible (original)
page.
- Create a logical tab order
through links, form controls, and objects. Provide keyboard shortcuts
to important links (including those in client-side image maps), form
controls, and groups of form controls. Make sure the shortcuts do not
conflict with standard Windows shortcuts.
- Associate labels explicitly
with their controls.
- Until user agents support
explicit associations between labels and form controls, for all form
controls with implicitly associated labels, ensure that the label is
properly positioned.
- Until user agents (including
assistive technologies) render side-by-side text correctly, provide
a linear text alternative (on the current page or some other) for all
tables that lay out text in parallel, word-wrapped columns.
- Ensure that dynamic content
is accessible or provide an alternative presentation or page.
- Ensure that equivalents
for dynamic content are updated when the dynamic content changes.
- Ensure that foreground
and background color combinations provide sufficient contrast when viewed
by someone having color deficits or when viewed on a black and white
screen. (Priority 2 for images, Priority 3 for text).
- Until user agents allow
users to turn off spawned windows, do not cause pop-ups or other windows
to appear automatically and do not change the current window without
informing the user.
- Organize documents so they
may be read without style sheets.
- Ensure that all information
conveyed with color is also available without color, for example from
context or markup. Ensure that information is not conveyed through color
alone.
- For data tables that have
two or more logical levels of row or column headers use markup to associate
data cells with header cells.
