Test Case for grouping of Links and whitespace
Status of this document
This is a test document written by Charles McCathieNevile to test how
groups of links are rendered by different technologies
In each of the five test cases there are five (5) links to different pages.
If you can, or cannot, easily find and use each link, please email w3c-wai-gl@w3.org explaining which cases
did not work, and what equipment you were using:
- Operating system and version
- Browser and version,
- Hardware (such as keyboard, monitor, or head-wand, emacspeak with
Dectalk Express)
- Any "assistive technology" you used
As responses are posted they will be added to this page.
Five Test cases:
- There are five separate links in this list item, separated by spaces
- There are five separate links in this list item, with no separation
- There#are#five#separate#links in this list item, separated by hashes (#)
- There.are.five.separate.links in this list item, separated by periods (.)
-
Known Results
Result are listed by Browser, then by Operating system. These will be
periodically updated based on feedback received.
Amaya v2.2:
Linux 2.2 (RedHat v6.0)
- Keyboard,
mouse, monitor: All are usable except case 5, where none of the
content of the MAP is visible. (This is a known bug in Amaya). Where there
are no visible separators (case 1 and case 2) it is not obvious that the
links are separate except by selecting the link, or looking at the Links
View.
Home Page Reader v2.5:
- Hardware unknown: All
links are usable.
Lynx v2.8:
Linux 2.2 (RedHat v6.0)
- Keyboard,
mouse, monitor: All are usable,
Netscape v4.7:
Linux 2.2 (RedHat v6.0)
- Keyboard,
mouse, monitor: All links are usable. Where there are no visible
separators (case 2) it is not obvious that the links are separate. Where
there is only a space it is difficult to see. In each case the status bar
provides the destination of the link (but there is no way to tab between
links in Netscape for linux - you have to use the mouse).
