Site Report

A link name allows screen readers to voice what the links does. If there is no link text or the `alt` text is blank, screen readers have nothing to read, so read out the URL instead. To add a name do one of the following:

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

PDF graphics with missing ALT attributes cause problems in:

• NVDA 2019 with IE11 and Acrobat Reader: the image is ignored.
• JAWS 2019 with IE11 and Acrobat Reader: a meaningless label like 'eleven graphic' is voiced.
• VoiceOver macOS with Safari: a meaningless label like 'image' is voiced.
• VoiceOver iOS with Safari: the image is ignored.

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.

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

            <legend> Gift wrapped: </legend>
            <label> Yes </label>
            <label> No </label>
            

            <legend> Express delivery: </legend>
            <label> Yes </label>
            <label> No </label>
            

Using a border or outline style that obscures the focus ring causes problems for keyboard-only users in:

• Chrome (obscures the focus indicator on links, buttons, dropdowns and range controls)
• Firefox (obscures the focus indicator on links)
• Internet Explorer (obscures the focus indicator on links, buttons and range controls)

Additional link text added with the TITLE attribute doesn't work in:

• NVDA 2018.4 with IE11 (the link title isn't read when tabbing)
• NVDA 2016.3 with IE11 (the link title isn't read when tabbing)
• NVDA 2016.2 with IE11 (the link title isn't read when tabbing)
• VoiceOver iOS 11.4 (the link title isn't read)

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
