CriticalHTML form control has no label. WCAG 2.1 A F68 Section 508 (2017) A F68 1 pages

A label (or name) linked to the control allows screen readers to voice the label correctly when reading the control. To add a label do one of the following:

  • Use a label element with the for attribute set to the ID of the form control
  • Wrap a label element around the form control
  • Add a title attribute
  • Add an aria-label attribute
  • Add an aria-labelledby attribute

CriticalThis button element is empty and has no accessible name. WCAG 2.1 A F68 Section 508 (2017) A F68 1 pages

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

Very ImportantFor input type=password elements, set the autocomplete attribute to new-password or current-password in order to identify input purpose. WCAG 2.1 1.3.5 1 pages
Specifying what kind of data is expected in a particular input field makes filling out forms easier, especially for people with cognitive disabilities. While type=password specifies the type of input, it doesn't specify its purpose. Autocomplete values such as new-password and current-password are a well-supported way of identifying input purpose.

Very ImportantHeadings should not be empty. WCAG 2.1 AA G130 Section 508 (2017) AA G130 1 pages
Add text to the heading, or alt text if the heading contains an image. Screen readers read out page headings, allowing users to quickly skip to a section, but some older screen readers do not ignore empty headings.

Very ImportantIf you set any of the colors on the body or a elements you must set all of them. WCAG 2.1 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 black text on a black background.
The colors used are:
color: rgb(0,0,0); background-color: rgb(255,255,255); uses browser default

Very ImportantProvide information about the general layout of a site using a site map or table of contents. WCAG 2.1 AA 2.4.5 Section 508 (2017) AA 2.4.5 1 pages
You should provide a link labeled 'Site Map' or 'Sitemap' or the equivalent in your language, on every page.

Very ImportantThe CSS outline or border style on this element makes it difficult or impossible to see the dotted link focus outline. WCAG 2.1 AA F78 Section 508 (2017) AA F78 1 pages
Change the style to avoid obscuring the focus outline around focusable elements.

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)
Internet Explorer does not support the `outline-offset:` property, so using this does not reliably avoid focus outline overlap.

ImportantAvoid specifying a new window as the target of a link with target=_blank. WCAG 2.1 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 a warning into the link text like the following: "opens in a new window".

ImportantDon't use CSS animations or transitions in interactions without giving the user a way to turn them off. WCAG 2.1 2.3.3 1 pages
Use the @media (prefers-reduced-motion) media query to respect user preferences.

ImportantEnsure that text and background colors have a 7:1 contrast ratio. WCAG 2.1 AAA 1.4.6 1 pages

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
The text color to background color contrast ratio is:
6.36 with color: rgb(34,34,34); background-color: rgb(0,175,240); font-size: 14.00pt; font-weight: 300.00;
