Home > Talk > Section 508

Dear Josh,

I ran an accessibility check on my wikyblog site, and found some section 508 errors.

Rule: 1.1.2 - All INPUT elements are required to contain the alt attribute or use a LABEL. Warning - INPUT Element, of Type TEXT, found at Line: 95, Column: 2773 contains a non-empty 'value' attribute. This is a practice referred to as "self-labeling." Self-Labeling is argued to be accessible under Priority One or Section 508 guidelines/standards. We recommend using a Label as the Preferred method or the use of an 'alt' attribute to make this element accessible. Failure - INPUT Element, of Type TEXT, found at Line: 95, Column: 2840 Failure - INPUT Element, of Type TEXT, found at Line: 137, Column: 158 Failure - INPUT Element, of Type TEXT, found at Line: 137, Column: 242

Rule: 1.1.6 - All IFRAME elements are required to contain element content. Failure - IFRAME Element at Line: 95, Column: 2526

You've put such a lot of work into coding this site and making sure that Wikyblog is standards-compliant, and I can't tell you how satisfying it is to have that w3c logo at the bottom of every page! I would appreciate it if you would take a look at this when you get some time.

Thanks!

Cynthia
