CriticalFigures and images in PDF documents should have non blank ALT text, except for decorative images which should be marked as artifacts. WCAG 2.0 A F65 Section 508 (2017) A F65

CriticalIdentify row and column headers in data tables using th elements, and mark layout tables with role=presentation. WCAG 2.0 A F91 Section 508 (2017) A F91
Data tables allow screen reader users to understand column and row relationships. Layout tables read cells as a series of unrelated paragraphs with no tabular structure. Without TH or ROLE, screen readers apply heuristics to decide whether a table is a layout table or data table. These heuristics vary greatly between screen readers, and are affected by browser being used, window size, and font size (so the outcome is very unpredictable without TH or ROLE). If a data table has headers marked up using TD, then change these to TH. If a data table has no headers, add TH elements describing each row and/or column. If the table is only used for layout add role='presentation' to the TABLE element.

Impact on users:

  • JAWS Reading: Treats tables without TH and ROLE as layout tables if the table contains cells above or below certain pixel sizes. This measurement is affected by browser window size, browser font size, and the browser used.
  • NVDA Reading: Applies a 'layout table' heuristic to tables without TH and ROLE which varies depending on the browser used and on the window size in some circumstances.
  • VoiceOver Reading: Uses a sophisticated heuristic on tables without TH and ROLE, which is similar (but not identical) to the heuristic used by NVDA with Firefox.

CriticalLink uses general text like 'Click Here' with no surrounding text explaining link purpose. WCAG 2.0 A F63 Section 508 (2017) A F63
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 to the link (which helps screen reader users).

Very ImportantEnsure that text and background colors have enough contrast. WCAG 2.0 AA 1.4.3 Section 508 (2017) AA 1.4.3

Some users find it hard to read light gray text on a white background, dark gray text on a black background and white text on a red background.

  • The contrast ratio should be 3.0 or more for 18 point text, or larger
  • The contrast ratio should be 3.0 or more for 14 point bold text, or larger
  • The contrast ratio should be 4.5 or more for all other text
The text color to background color contrast ratio is:

ImportantAvoid specifying a new window as the target of a link with target=_blank. WCAG 2.0 AAA F22
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 a warning into the link text like the following: "opens in a new window".

ImportantEach section of content should begin with a heading element (h1, h2, h3), but this page has no headings. WCAG 2.0 AAA 2.4.10
In HTML place headings before each section of content, making sure the main heading is h1, sub-headings are h2 and so on. For PDFs produced from Word, use the Heading 1, Heading 2 and Heading 3 styles.

ImportantEnsure that text and background colors have a 7:1 contrast ratio. WCAG 2.0 AAA 1.4.6

Some users find it hard to read light gray text on a white background, dark gray text on a black background and white text on a red background.

Note: The default link color in IE11 has poor contrast on a white background. Fix by specifying a:link and a:visited colors in CSS.

  • The contrast ratio should be 4.5 or more for 18 point text, or larger
  • The contrast ratio should be 4.5 or more for 14 point bold text, or larger
  • The contrast ratio should be 7.0 or more for all other text

ImportantLink uses general text like 'Click Here' which doesn't explain link purpose. WCAG 2.0 AAA F84
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.
