Updated: November 7, 2019, to correspond with the latest version of WAVE.
Summary: The Results Icon Dictionary contains all of the Results Icons used in the Pope Tech Scanning Platform. The icons are organized into 6 different scanning results categories. The dictionary explains what each icon means, why it matters for accessibility, how to fix it, and provides additional information on relevant WCAG success criteria.
Preface to the Icon Dictionary
A big thanks to our partners at WebAIM who allowed us to adapt their WAVE documentation for use on the Platform and documentation. The results icons in this dictionary are the same icons that WAVE uses. Much of the documentation for the Results Icon Dictionary was adapted from the WAVE icon index and the accompanying WAVE help page.
Overview of Dictionary Organization
The remainder of the Results Icon Dictionary is organized as follows: The table of contents that provides a brief overview of the six scanning categories. Each Scanning Category is then defined, followed by icons and names (which are all links) of the items contained in that respective category. Following the table of contents are the detailed explanations of each of the individual items (once again, organized by scanning category).
Category Explanation and Table of Contents
The Accessibility Scanning Results are organized in the platform into six categories that are useful for web accessibility monitoring, web page creation, and remediation. The six scanning results categories are:
- Errors: Detects 22 accessibility error types. These are errors that need to be fixed.
- Contrast Errors: Detects places where there are accessibility contrast errors.
- Alerts: Identifies an additional 38 potential accessibility error types that require manual evaluation.
- Features: Identifies 12 different commonly used accessibility features.
- Structure: Identifies 21 structural elements that are important in accessible web pages.
- ARIA: Identifies when is used on web pages.
Errors
Items flagged by the error icon are accessibility errors that need to be fixed. The following 22 accessibility errors types are detected in a Pope Tech Web Accessibility Scan:
Contrast Errors
Pope Tech Web Accessibility Scan detects instances on your web pages where the color contrast is an issue (based on WCAG guidelines). Contrast Errors are accessibility issues. Anytime you see the following contrast error, it should the flagged content should be examined for remediation.
Alerts
Alerts are flagged because they are either accessibility errors or are suspicious code or content. Alerts may or may not be an accessibility error. The accessibility impact can vary based on context. Alerts require manual evaluation. For this reason, items that meet the criteria for this category are classified as an alert. The following are 38 items the Pope Tech Platform will flag as an alert:
Features
The features response category points out when the web pages contain common accessibility features. These are things that improve accessibility if used correctly. The scan identifies the following 12 commonly used accessibility features:
Structure
Using proper structural elements in designing websites, web pages, and content can increase overall web page accessibility. Conversely, the misuse of these structural elements can result in blocked accessibility by Assistive Technologies. The scan identifies the following 21 structural Elements:
ARIA
The ARIA category brings to users attention when ARIA is used. Most ARIA items require a manual review to see if they are used properly. The scan identifies the following 10 ARIA items:
ARIA
ARIA label
ARIA description
ARIA alert or live region
ARIA menu
ARIA button
ARIA expanded
ARIA popup
ARIA tabindex
ARIA hiddenIcon Details

Missing alternative text
What It Means
Image alternative text is not present.Why It Matters
Each image must have an alt attribute. Without alternative text, the content of an image will not be available to screen reader users or when the image is unavailable.What To Do
Add an alt attribute to the image. The attribute value should accurately and succinctly present the content and function of the image. If the content of the image is conveyed in the context or surroundings of the image, or if the image does not convey content or have a function, it should be given empty/null alternative text (alt=””).The Algorithm… in English
An image does not have an alt attribute.Standards and Guidelines
Linked image missing alternative text
What It Means
An image without alternative text results in an empty link.Why It Matters
Images that are the only thing within a link must have descriptive alternative text. If an image is within a link that contains no text and that image does not provide alternative text, a screen reader has no content to present to the user regarding the function of the link.What To Do
Add appropriate alternative text that presents the content of the image and/or the function of the link.The Algorithm… in English
An image without alternative text (missing alt attribute or an alt value that is null/empty or only space characters) is within a link that does not contain text and an image with alternative text.Standards and Guidelines
Spacer image missing alternative text
What It Means
A layout spacer image (which should have null/empty alternative text) does not have an alt attribute.Why It Matters
Spacer images are used to maintain layout. They do not convey content and should be given null/empty alternative text (alt=””) so they are not presented to users and are ignored by screen readers.What To Do
If the image is a spacer image, give the image null/empty alternative text (alt=””). Alternatively, consider using CSS instead of spacer images to control positioning and layout.The Algorithm… in English
An image is missing an alt attribute and has a width or height of 3 pixels or less or has a file name starting with “spacer.*”, “space.*”, or “blank.*”.Standards and Guidelines
Image button missing alternative text
What It Means
Alternative text is not present for a form image button.Why It Matters
Image buttons provide important functionality that must be presented in alternative text. Without alternative text, the function of an image button is not made available to screen reader users or when images are disabled or unavailable.What To Do
Add appropriate alternative text that presents the function of the image button (e.g., <input src=”button.gif” type=”image” alt=”Submit search”>).The Algorithm… in English
An image button (<input type=”image”>) does not have an alt attribute or has an alt value that is null/empty (alt=””) or only space characters.Standards and Guidelines
Image map area missing alternative text
What It Means
Alternative text is not present for an image map area (hot spot).Why It Matters
Image map areas or clickable hot spots provide important functionality that must be provided in alternative text. Without alternative text, the function of the area is not made available to screen reader users or when images are unavailable.What To Do
Add a descriptive alt attribute value to each area element. Additionally, ensure that the area elements are listed in the code in a logical, intuitive order (e.g., matching the visual order, alphabetically, etc.).The Algorithm… in English
An area element does not have the alt attribute or has an alt value that is null/empty (alt=””) or only space characters.Standards and Guidelines
Image map missing alternative text
What It Means
An image that has hot spots does not have an alt attribute.Why It Matters
Any content or function of an image that uses an image map (hot spots) and does not have an alt attribute will not be available to screen reader users or if the image is unavailable.What To Do
Add an alt attribute to the image. Ensure the alt attribute value for the image map image is appropriate. The alternative text is typically null/empty (alt=””), unless the image conveys content not conveyed in the hot spot areas (e.g., “Map of the United States”).The Algorithm… in English
An image element has the usemap attribute and no alt attribute.Standards and Guidelines
Invalid longdesc
What It Means
The longdesc attribute is not a URL.Why It Matters
The longdesc attribute of an image must be a valid URL of a page that contains a description of the image content. A longdesc value that contains image description text will not provide any accessibility information. Due to poor support, a link to the long description content should be used instead of longdesc.What To Do
Remove the longdesc attribute and provide a link to the long description content. If the longdesc attribute is maintained, ensure the attribute value is a valid URL/filename.The Algorithm… in English
The longdesc attribute value:- is empty
- is not a URL or filename
- is a URL or filename with an extension of .jpg, .gif, or .png
Standards and Guidelines
Missing form label
What It Means
A form control does not have a corresponding label.Why It Matters
If a form control does not have a properly associated text label, the function or purpose of that form control may not be presented to screen reader users. Form labels also provide visible descriptions and larger clickable targets for form controls.What To Do
If a text label for a form control is visible, use the <label> element to associate it with its respective form control. If there is no visible label, either provide an associated label, add a descriptive title attribute to the form control, or reference the label(s) using aria-labelledby. Labels are not required for image, submit, reset, button, or hidden form controls.The Algorithm… in English
An <input> (except types of image, submit, reset, button, or hidden), <select>, or <textarea> does not have a properly associated label text. A properly associated label is:- a <label> element with a for attribute value that is equal to the id of a unique form control
- a <label> element that surrounds the form control, does not surround any other form controls, and does not reference another element with its for attribute
- a non-empty title attribute, or
- a non-empty aria-labelledby attribute.
Standards and Guidelines
Empty form label
What It Means
A form label is present, but does not contain any content.Why It Matters
A <label> element that is associated to a form control but does not contain text will not present any information about the form control to the user.What To Do
Ensure that the form label contains text that describes the function of the associated form control. Labels are not required for image, submit, reset, button, or hidden form controls. If a label is not necessary visually, a descriptive title attribute may be added to the form control.The Algorithm… in English
A form label is present and associated with an existing form control (using for/id or surrounds the form control), but does not contain any text or images with alternative text.Standards and Guidelines
Multiple form labels
What It Means
A form control has more than one label associated with it.Why It Matters
A form control should have at most one associated label element. If more than one label element is associated to the control, assistive technology may not read the appropriate label.What To Do
Ensure that at most one label element is associated to the form control. If multiple form labels are necessary, use aria-labelledby.The Algorithm… in English
Two or more <label>s are associated to a single <input> (except types of image, submit, reset, button, or hidden), <select>, or <textarea>.Standards and Guidelines
Broken ARIA reference
What It Means
An aria-labelledby or aria-describedby reference exists, but the target for the reference does not exist.Why It Matters
ARIA labels and descriptions will not be presented if the element referenced does not exist in the page.What To Do
Ensure the element referenced in the aria-labelledby or aria-describedby attribute value is present within the page and presents a proper label or description.The Algorithm… in English
An element has an aria-labelledby or aria-describedby value that does not match the id attribute value of another element in the page.Standards and Guidelines
Broken ARIA menu
What It Means
An ARIA menu does not contain required menu items.Why It Matters
ARIA menus are application menus (like those used in software menu) with a specific keyboard interactions. They are NOT for navigation links on a web site and must contain at least one menuitem, menuitemcheckbox, or menuitemradio element.What To Do
Ensure that the menu is an application menu and has the appropriate keyboard interactions (menu items are navigated via the arrow keys, not via the Tab key) and internal menu items, otherwise remove the menu role.The Algorithm… in English
An element with role=”menu” does not contain at least one element with role=”menuitem”, role=”menuitemcheckbox”, or role=”menuitemradio”.Standards and Guidelines
Missing or uninformative page title
What It Means
The page title is missing or not descriptive.Why It Matters
A descriptive title helps users understand a page’s purpose or content. Without a proper title, many users (especially those using screen readers or other assistive technology) may have difficulty orienting themselves to the page.What To Do
Add a brief, descriptive page title.The Algorithm… in English
The page title is missing, empty, contains only whitespace characters, or begins with “untitled”.Standards and Guidelines
Document language missing
What It Means
The language of the document is not identified.Why It Matters
Identifying the language of the page allows screen readers to read the content in the appropriate language. It also facilitates automatic translation of content.What To Do
Identify the document language using the <html lang> attribute (e.g., <html lang=”en”>).The Algorithm… in English
The <html lang> attribute is missing or is empty.Standards and Guidelines
Page refreshes or redirects
What It Means
The page is set to automatically change location or refresh using a <meta> tag.Why It Matters
Pages that automatically change location or refresh pose significant usability issues, particularly for screen reader and keyboard users.What To Do
Remove the <meta> refresh and give the user control over time-sensitive content changes.The Algorithm… in English
A <meta http-equiv=”refresh”> tag is present.Standards and Guidelines
Empty heading
What It Means
A heading contains no content.Why It Matters
Some users, especially keyboard and screen reader users, often navigate by heading elements. An empty heading will present no information and may introduce confusion.What To Do
Ensure that all headings contain informative content.The Algorithm… in English
A heading element is present that contains no text (or only spaces) and no images with alternative text.Standards and Guidelines
Empty button
What It Means
A button is empty or has no value text.Why It Matters
When navigating to a button, descriptive text must be presented to screen reader users to indicate the function of the button.What To Do
Place text content within the <button> element or give the <input> element a value attribute.The Algorithm… in English
A <button> element is present that contains no text content (or alternative text), or an <input type=”submit”>, <input type=”button”>, or <input type=”reset”> has an empty or missing value attribute.Standards and Guidelines
Empty link
What It Means
A link contains no text.Why It Matters
If a link contains no text, the function or purpose of the link will not be presented to the user. This can introduce confusion for keyboard and screen reader users.What To Do
Remove the empty link or provide text within the link that describes the functionality and/or target of that link.The Algorithm… in English
An anchor element has an href attribute, but contains no text (or only spaces) and no images with alternative text.Standards and Guidelines
Broken skip link
What It Means
A skip navigation link exists, but the target for the link does not exist or the link is not keyboard accessible.Why It Matters
A link to jump over navigation or jump to the main content of the page assists keyboard users only if the link is properly functioning and is keyboard accessible.What To Do
Ensure that the target for the link exists and that the link is not hidden with CSS display:none or visibility:hidden.The Algorithm… in English
An in-page link contains the words “skip” or “jump” and is hidden with CSS display:none or visibility:hidden, or the link has an href attribute that does not match the id value of another element within the page or the name attribute value of an anchor element within the page.Standards and Guidelines
Empty table header
What It Means
A <th> (table header) contains no text.Why It Matters
The <th> element helps associate table cells with the correct row/column headers. A <th> that contains no text may result in cells with missing or incorrect header information.What To Do
If the table cell is a header, provide text within the cell that describes the column or row. If the cell is not a header or must remain empty (such as the top-left cell in a data table), make the cell a <td> rather than a <th>.The Algorithm… in English
A <th> element does not contain any text (or contains only spaces) and no images with alternative text.Standards and Guidelines
Blinking content
What It Means
Blinking content is present.Why It Matters
Blinking content can be distracting and confusing to users, particularly those with certain cognitive disabilities.What To Do
Remove the blinking effect (<blink> element or text-decoration:blink style). Important text can be styled in other ways.The Algorithm… in English
A non-empty <blink> element or other text has CSS text-decoration:blink styling.Standards and Guidelines
Marquee
What It Means
A <marquee> element is present.Why It Matters
A marquee element presents scrolling text that the user cannot stop. Scrolling animated content can be distracting and confusing to users, particularly for those with certain cognitive disabilities.What To Do
Remove the marquee element. If content must scroll, use an alternative scrolling mechanism that allows the user to pause or stop the animation.The Algorithm… in English
A <marquee> element is present.Standards and Guidelines
Very Low Contrast
What It Means
Very low contrast between foreground and background colors.Why It Matters
Adequate contrast is necessary for all users, especially users with low vision.What To Do
Increase the contrast between the foreground (text) color and the background color. Large text (larger than 18 point or 14 point bold) does not require as much contrast as smaller text.The Algorithm… in English
Text is present that has a contrast ratio less than 4.5:1, or large text (larger than 18 point or 14 point bold) has a contrast ratio less than 3:1. Elements with background images must have a background color defined that provides adequate contrast when images are disabled or unavailable.Standards and Guidelines
Suspicious alternative text
What It Means
Alternative text is likely insufficient or contains extraneous information.Why It Matters
If the alternative text for an image does not provide the same content or information conveyed by the image, that content will not be available to screen reader users and when images are unavailable.What To Do
Ensure that the alternative text for the image or image input provides a succinct, yet equivalent alternative to the content and function of the image. Screen readers and browser presentation inform the user that the object is an image, so alternative text of “image of…” (and similar) should be avoided. If the image does not convey content or if the content is presented in nearby text (e.g., a caption), null/empty alternative text (alt=””) is appropriate.The Algorithm… in English
The alt text value of an image or image button:- begins with “graphic of”, “bullet”, or “image of”,
- ends with “image” or “graphic”,
- contains only space characters (alt=” “),
- is an image file name (e.g. alt=”photo.gif”), or
- is one of the following: “image”, “graphic”, “photo”, “photograph”, “drawing”, “painting”, “artwork”, “logo”, “bullet”, “button”, “arrow”, “more”, “spacer”, “blank”, “chart”, “table”, “diagram”, “graph”, or “*”.
Standards and Guidelines
Redundant alternative text
What It Means
The alternative text for an image is the same as nearby or adjacent text.Why It Matters
Alternative text that is the same as nearby or adjacent text will be presented multiple times to screen readers or when images are unavailable.What To Do
Change either the alternative text or the adjacent text to eliminate the redundancy. In most cases, you can give the image empty/null alternative text (alt=””) because the content of the image is already provided in context through text. Linked images may often be combined with the adjacent text into one link, in which case the image may be given null/empty alternative text (alt=””).The Algorithm… in English
The alternative text is the same as text that is within 15 characters of the image.Standards and Guidelines
A nearby image has the same alternative text
What It Means
Two images near each other have the same alternative text.Why It Matters
When two images have the same alternative text, this often causes redundancy or indicates incorrect alternative text.What To Do
Ensure that the alternative text for each image or image button is appropriate while removing unnecessary redundancy. If the content of the image is already conveyed elsewhere (through text or the alternative text of a nearby image) or if the image does not convey content, the image may generally be given empty/null alternative text (alt=””). Image buttons always convey a specific function, and thus cannot be given null alternative text.The Algorithm… in English
The same alternative text (case insensitive, but not null/empty) is present for two images or image buttons (<input type=’image’>) near each other (no more than 2 other images separate them).Standards and Guidelines
Long alternative text
What It Means
An image has very long alternative text.Why It Matters
Alternative text should be succinct, yet descriptive of the content and function of an image. Lengthy alternative text (more than around 100 characters) often indicates that extraneous content or content that is not available to sighted users is being presented.What To Do
Ensure the alternative text is succinct, yet descriptive. Ensure that no content is being presented in alternative text that is not available to sighted users viewing the image. When possible, either shorten the alternative text or provide the text alternative via another method (e.g., in text near the image, through a separate description page, etc.).The Algorithm… in English
The image’s alt attribute value is more than 100 characters. Note that the 100 character limit is a rough and somewhat arbitrary length. For images that present complex content or lengthy text, alternative text longer than 100 characters may be appropriate.Standards and Guidelines
Long description
What It Means
The longdesc attribute is present.Why It Matters
Because of poor support, the longdesc attribute should not be used.What To Do
Because of poor browser support for longdesc, it should not be used to provide the description of complex images. The description may be provided:- in the alt attribute, if possible. Alt text should be succinct (generally no more than ~100 characters).
- in nearby text (e.g., a caption, data table, etc.)
- via a link to a separate description page that contains an accurate and equivalent description.
The Algorithm… in English
An image has a longdesc attribute containing a valid URL.Standards and Guidelines
Orphaned form label
What It Means
A form label is present, but it is not correctly associated with a form control.Why It Matters
An incorrectly associated label does not provide functionality or information about the form control to the user. It usually indicates a coding or other form labeling issues.What To Do
Properly associate the label with its corresponding form control. If there is no corresponding form control, remove the label. Labels are not appropriate for image, submit, reset, button, or hidden form controls.The Algorithm… in English
A <label> element:- does not surround a form control and the for attribute is missing/empty
- references an element that is not present in the page
- references an element that is not an <input>, <select> or <textarea> element
- references an <input> element with image, submit, reset, button, or hidden type
Standards and Guidelines
Unlabeled form element with title
What It Means
A form control does not have a label, but has a title.Why It Matters
The title attribute value for unlabeled form controls will be presented to screen reader users. However, a properly associated text label provides better usability and accessibility and should be used unless the purpose of the form control is intuitive without the label.What To Do
If a visible text label is available for the form control, associate the text label to the form control using the label element. This provides additional functionality for end users because if the label is clicked it will set focus to the form control. If the form control is intuitive without a <label>, the title attribute value may be used. Note that the title attribute value will not generally be read by a screen reader if the control has a label and may not be available to sighted users, particularly keyboard-only users.The Algorithm… in English
An <input> (except types of image, submit, reset, button, or hidden), <textarea>, or <select> element has a non-empty title attribute value and is missing a label or valid aria-labelledby reference.Standards and Guidelines
Missing fieldset
What It Means
A group of check boxes or radio buttons is not enclosed in a fieldset.Why It Matters
A fieldset provides a visual and structural grouping of related form elements. It is typically necessary for groups of check boxes or radio buttons where a higher level description (called a legend) is necessary to understand the function of the check boxes or radio buttons. The description will be identified by a screen reader only if provided in a fieldset legend.What To Do
Determine whether the grouping of check boxes or radio buttons has or needs text that explains the purpose of the check boxes or radio button grouping. If so, mark up the group within a fieldset and put the group description in a legend element.The Algorithm… in English
Two or more checkbox or radio input elements within a form have the same name value, but are not enclosed in a fieldset.Standards and Guidelines
Fieldset missing legend
What It Means
A fieldset does not have a legend.Why It Matters
A fieldset legend presents a description of the form elements within a fieldset and is especially useful to screen reader users. A legend should be provided when a higher level description is necessary for groups of check boxes, radio buttons, or other form controls.What To Do
If a higher level description is necessary for the user to understand the function or purpose of the controls within the fieldset, provide this description within the <legend>. If this description or grouping is not necessary, the fieldset should probably be removed. Note that the legend is repeated to screen reader users for each form control within the fieldset.The Algorithm… in English
A fieldset does not have a legend or the legend is empty.Standards and Guidelines
No heading structure
What It Means
The page has no headings.Why It Matters
Headings (<h1>-<h6>) provide important document structure, outlines, and navigation functionality to assistive technology users.What To Do
Provide a clear, consistent heading structure, generally one <h1> and sub-headings as appropriate. Except for very simple pages, most web pages should have a heading structure.The Algorithm… in English
No <h1>-<h6> elements are present in the page.Standards and Guidelines
Missing first level heading
What It Means
A page does not have a first level heading.Why It Matters
Headings facilitate page navigation for users of many assistive technologies. They also provide semantic and visual meaning and structure to the document. A first level heading (<h1>) should be present on nearly all pages. It should contain the most important heading on the page (generally the document title).What To Do
If the page presents a main heading, place it within an <h1> element. Add other sub-headings as necessary.The Algorithm… in English
A page does not have an <h1> element.Standards and Guidelines
No page regions
What It Means
No page regions or ARIA landmarks were found.Why It Matters
Regions and ARIA landmarks identify significant page areas. Most web pages should have regions defined, particularly for the main content area.What To Do
If the page has visual regions or significant page areas, ensure the regions are defined with header, nav, main, footer, etc. elements.The Algorithm… in English
No header, nav, main, footer, or aside HTML regions, or banner, navigation, main, or contentinfo landmark roles were present in the page.Standards and Guidelines
Skipped heading level
What It Means
A heading level is skipped.Why It Matters
Headings provide document structure and facilitate keyboard navigation by users of assistive technology. These users may be confused or experience difficulty navigating when heading levels are skipped.What To Do
Restructure the document headings to ensure that heading levels are not skipped.The Algorithm… in English
A heading level is skipped (e.g., an <h1> is followed by an <h3>, with no intermediate <h2>). Note that an <h1> is not required to be the first heading within the document.Standards and Guidelines
Possible heading
What It Means
Text appears to be a heading but is not a heading element.Why It Matters
Heading elements (<h1>-<h6>) provide important document structure, outlines, and navigation functionality to assistive technology users. If heading text is not a true heading, this information and functionality will not be available for that text.What To Do
If the paragraph is a section heading, use a heading element instead (<h1>-<h6>).The Algorithm… in English
A <p> element contains less than 50 characters and is either:- 20 pixels or bigger, or
- 16 pixels or bigger and bold and/or italicized.
Standards and Guidelines
Layout table
What It Means
A layout table is present.Why It Matters
Layout tables exist merely to position content visually – to create columns, insert spacing, or align content neatly for sighted users. Their content is not at all tabular in nature. Layout tables should not be used in HTML5. They can introduce reading and navigation order issues. Screen readers may interpret them as data tables (i.e., announcing column and row numbers), especially if they contain table header (<th>) cells. This introduces significant overhead on screen reader users.What To Do
In almost every case, layout tables can be replaced with other HTML elements and styled with CSS to achieve the desired visual presentation. If the table contains tabular data, provide appropriate header (<th>) cells. If the layout table remains, verify that the reading and navigation order of table content (based on underlying source code order) is logical and give it role=”presentation” to ensure it is not identified as a table to screen reader users.The Algorithm… in English
A <table> element is present that does not contain any header (<th>) cells.Standards and Guidelines
Possible table caption
What It Means
Text appears to be a table caption, but is not a caption element.Why It Matters
A table caption should be associated with a table using the <caption> element so it will be read by a screen reader with the table content.What To Do
If the text is a description of the table, associate the text with the table using the <caption> element (<caption> should be the first element within the <table>).The Algorithm… in English
A data table (has at least one table header) that does not already have a caption has: – A colspan attribute value of 3 or greater on the first cell of the table. – Aelement immediately before the table that contains less than 50 characters or contains less than 100 characters and is bold and/or centered.
Standards and Guidelines
Broken same-page link
What It Means
A link to another location within the page is present but does not have a corresponding target.Why It Matters
A link to jump to another position within the the page assists users in navigating the web page, but only if the link target exists.What To Do
Ensure that the target for the link exists or remove the the same-page link.The Algorithm… in English
An in-page link has an href attribute (starting with a #), but does not match either the id value of another element or the name attribute value of an anchor element within the page.Standards and Guidelines
Suspicious link text
What It Means
Link text contains extraneous text or may not make sense out of context.Why It Matters
Links, which are often read out of context, should clearly describe the destination or function of the link. Ambiguous text, text that does not make sense out of context, and extraneous text (such as “click here”) can cause confusion and should be avoided.What To Do
Where appropriate, reword the link text so that it is more descriptive of its destination when read out of context. Remove any extraneous text (such as “click here”).The Algorithm… in English
A link (including alt text of linked images) contains the phrase “click here” or “click”, or the link text is “click here”, “here”, “more”, “more…”, “details”, “more details”, “link”, “this page”, “continue”, “continue reading”, “read more”, or “button”.Standards and Guidelines
Redundant link
What It Means
Adjacent links go to the same URL.Why It Matters
When adjacent links go to the same location (such as a linked product image and an adjacent linked product name that go to the same product page) this results in additional navigation and repetition for keyboard and screen reader users.What To Do
If possible, combine the redundant links into one link and remove any redundant text or alternative text (for example, if a product image and product name are in the same link, the image can usually be given alt=””).The Algorithm… in English
Two adjacent links go to the same URL.Standards and Guidelines
Link to Word document
What It Means
A link to a Microsoft Word document is present.Why It Matters
Unless authored with accessibility in mind, Microsoft Word documents often have accessibility issues. Additionally, Word documents are typically viewed using a separate application, and can thus cause confusion and navigation difficulties.What To Do
Ensure that the Word document is natively accessible. Additionally, inform the user that the link will open a Word document. Because Word documents have limitations in accessibility (particularly for complex content) and require a separate program, HTML content should usually be used in place of or in addition to the Word document.The Algorithm… in English
A link to a .doc or .docx file is present.Standards and Guidelines
- None
Link to Excel spreadsheet
What It Means
A link to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet is present.Why It Matters
Unless authored with accessibility in mind, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets often have accessibility issues. Additionally, Excel documents are typically viewed using a separate application, and can thus cause confusion and navigation difficulties.What To Do
Ensure the Excel spreadsheet is natively accessible. Additionally, inform the user that the link will open an Excel spreadsheet. Because Excel spreadsheets have limitations in accessibility (particularly for complex content) and require a separate program, HTML content should usually be used in place of or in addition to the Excel spreadsheet.The Algorithm… in English
A link to a .xls or .xlsx file is present.Standards and Guidelines
- None
Link to PowerPoint document
What It Means
A link to a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation is present.Why It Matters
Unless authored with accessibility in mind, PowerPoint documents often have accessibility issues. Additionally, PowerPoint documents are typically viewed using a separate application, and can thus cause confusion and navigation difficulties.What To Do
Ensure the PowerPoint presentation is natively accessible. Additionally, inform the user that the link will open a PowerPoint document. Because PowerPoint documents have limitations in accessibility (particularly for complex content) and require a separate program, HTML content or an alternative accessible version (e.g., tagged PDF) should usually be used in place of or in addition to the PowerPoint presentation.The Algorithm… in English
A link to a .ppt, .pptx, .pps, or .ppsx file is present.Standards and Guidelines
- None
Link to PDF document
What It Means
A link to a PDF document is present.Why It Matters
Unless authored with accessibility in mind, PDF documents often have accessibility issues. Additionally, PDF documents are typically viewed using a separate application or plug-in, and can thus cause confusion and navigation difficulties.What To Do
Ensure the PDF document is natively accessible. Additionally, inform the user that the link will open a PDF document.
