Thanks John,
It took a while but the answer I was looking for came along. Thank 
you! Your web site is very helpful.


I'm wondering how accurate or relevant some of the checks are on 
something like http://webxact.watchfire.com/
I tested my site and there seems to be many warnings that I can 
ignore. Try checking my site if you like. www.re-entity.com
I'm interested if you agree that some warnings can be ignored. I 
gather this is what you are talking about when you mention manual 
checks.


I know there are some things that should be changed on my site. I'm 
currently working on a re-design!


Are any of the validation tools: Bobby, Cynthiasays, Watchfire...more 
respected then the others?

Stuart.

You can use any of these, and all of them, but you should combine them 
with your own knowledge base and common sense.  I also use Marc Gueury's 
HTML Validator(http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/).  There's no 
tool that I trust explicitly, but if you arm yourself with some basic 
knowledge, then even if a tool has it's short falls or faults, and you 
are aware of them, you can still use what it renders correctly to assist 
you.


Tabindex:  one piece of advice, if you code tabindex, don't use 
intervals of 1, use something like 10, 20 or even 50;


tabindex=10
tabindex=20
tabindex=50
whatever.

If you have to go back and change the order or add items, it's a pain in 
the arse if you have to change every tabindex in the document.  Tabs 
will naturally flow to the next highest value, it doesn't matter if the 
interval is 10 or 100, whatever, this allows you to insert other items 
later on, without having to edit the rest of the document.


What I usually do is break the document down into sections, and within 
the section increase at intervals of 10, but when I go to a new section, 
jump either one hundred or even a few hundred, even a thousand.  Gives 
breathing space... phew.


But in general, if the document is well structure, and still reflects 
that structure when styles are turn off, the tab flow is often the same 
with or without coding tabindex.  If that is the case, why bother coding 
tabindex (I realise there are exceptions like using an initial tab to 
set the focus/skip navigation)?

RE: [WSG] Accessibility, the possibilities

2005-08-24 Thread Focas, Grant
In my opinion WatchfireXM is a terrible product - it considers perfectly valid 
things to be problems, has misleading documentation and is not very intuitive.
DreamweaverMX has a good but not completely thorough accessibility checking 
feature. 
Online tools will only check one page at a time.

http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/checkpoint-list.html

I think there are P3 checkpoints that are not covered here that you 
would need to check manually.


Just as a side issue, there is a lot of debate in the accessibility 
community about the merit of using accesskeys, tabindex, etc.   
Sometimes there is no clear cut path to take regarding these issues, in 
some places, accesskeys can cause problems in the way they are 
implemented by user agents and also how they fit the site design, at the 
same time they can be of great help in forms on intranets where users 
are doing a lot of repetitive tasks.  Similar debates surround tabindex, 
sometimes it's best to leave this to the natural flow of tabs managed by 
the user agent, sometimes not.


IMHO, many accessibility practitioners aim for WAI-AA, whilst 
incorporating the most practical of the WAI-AAA checkpoints to aid 
accessibility. 

What I'm talking about here is a basic set of checkpoints one implements 
for all sites, in such cases, with ROI in mind.  My general target is 
WAI-AA with what I would call the essential AAA checkpoints.  Some sites 
(or clients) warrant all of P3/AAA, which is what is required to certify 
it as AAA.


My 2 cents worth.

Geoff

Stuart Sherwood wrote:
 
 Hi All,

 issues or are there more? 
 

Stuart,

There are also the soft tests - often these deal with areas of
cognitive issues, from dyslexia to English as a second or third
language, etc.  Consider the requirement for appropriate and descriptive
ALT text... What is appropriate, and further, who decides?  Then there
is the whole issue of readability - test such as the Flesch-Kincaid
Grade Level Score can give you an idea if your content is written in
language appropriate for the site's intended audience, but it's hardly
an exact science. (http://wats.ca/resources/determiningreadability/1).  

There are also issues surrounding appropriate use of tables, list types,
etc. which require judgment calls.  Here, once the appropriate container
has been chosen (UL, OL, table?), you must then check to ensure that
they have been constructed appropriately - for example does your table
have (or even require) a summary?  Scope / headers  ID, etc.?

As for testing tools, in addition to the ones already mentioned, we have
collected a number of other gadgets which can be of assistance:

 I think there are P3 checkpoints that are not covered here that you
 would need to check manually.

There are in fact checkpoints under all three Priorities which require
brain intervention - they simply cannot be tested mechanically.  Try
running a page through something like Cynthia says
(http://www.cynthiasays.com) will quickly show you what needs to be
manually checked.  Cynthia says also provides a fairly extensive chart
of what and how their tests are run
(http://www.cynthiasays.com/Standards/CynthiaVersusBobby.htm)

 
 Just as a side issue, there is a lot of debate in the accessibility
 community about the merit of using accesskeys, tabindex, etc.

Did somebody say accesskeys?  Whoa-boy...

Using Accesskeys - Is it worth it?:

 IMHO, many accessibility practitioners aim for WAI-AA, whilst
 incorporating the most practical of the WAI-AAA checkpoints to aid
 accessibility.

As a general assumption, this is a relatively fair statement.  Please
remember that the WCAG is now 6 years old (May 1999), and it's showing
it's age.  Regrettably, some developers must adhere slavishly to the
checkpoints - often creating more problems than they are solving, but
that is simply due to the fact that the Guidelines were never written to
be Standards - but are now serving that role more often than not.  If
you *do* have the luxury of being flexible, shooting for a WCAG AA+
standing is probably your safest position, but determining that
ranking cannot be measured by simple tools alone - a clear and
experienced understanding of the issues will always be required.  The
clear understanding can come from hanging out in forums such as this
one, the WAI-IG (http://www.w3.org/WAI/IG/), WebAIM
(www.webaim.org/gettinghelp/) and GAWDS (the Guild of Accessible Web
Developers - http://www.gawds.org/discuss/).  Many of the regulars on
these lists are only too happy to lend a hand and provide answers, etc.
when asked.

Experience on the other hand takes time...  But it's really worth the
wait.

Well, this is curious.

I get a 404 for http://www.alistapart.com/topics/accessibility/

and a page full of articles for 
http://www.alistapart.com/topics/userscience/accessibility/


Can anyone break this deadlock?

Damian,

Your link gave me a 404. I'm really not sure what you are on about.
My link works  http://www.alistapart.com/topics/accessibility/
