F69 Zoom

From WCAG WG

@@Add the following paragraph to end of description:

An example of a mechanism where text containers resize when text resizes is G142: Using a technology that has commonly-available user agents that support zoom. An example of a mechanism where text containers do not resize when text resizes is the text-only resize function available in IE6, which does not have a zoom function.

or: An example of a mechanism where text containers resize when text resizes is G142: Using a technology that has commonly-available user agents that support zoom, yet there may be instances where even zoom fails to resize a container, as in example 3 below. An example of a mechanism where text containers do not resize when text resizes is the text-only resize function available in IE6, which does not have a zoom function.

Note: The zoom functionality in modern browsers allows resizing of the entire page, as opposed to text-only resizing. When using a technology whose user agents provide zoom support, this failure will not apply except in situations where there is loss of content even when using zoom, as in Examples 2 and 3 below. Nonetheless, it is recommended that authors design content in such a way as to allow text-only resizing without loss of content, even where zoom support is present.

@@Amend the title for each of the first two examples:

Failure Example 1 (applicable when using a mechanism where text containers do not resize when text resizes, as detailed above):


@@Amend Failure Example 2 : Change code to use: width:20%; height:20%;

Replace the first sentence of Failure Example 2 with: This example fails for both zoom and text-resize. The container does not resize in either mode.

@@Amend the test procedure as follows: 1. Increase the text size of the content by 200%. 2. Check that no text is clipped, truncated, or obscured.

EXPECTED RESULTS If no resize functionality is available to prevent check #2 from being true, then the failure condition applies and the content fails these Success Criteria.
