Web Content - the 'Quicktips'
A revised draft:
Images & Animations
Use the alt attribute to describe the function of all visuals.
Image Maps
Use client-side MAP and provide text links for hotspots.
Multimedia
Provide captioning and transcripts of audio, and descriptions of video.
Page Organization
Use headings, lists, lang attribute, for structure. Use CSS for layout and style. Be consistent
Hypertext Links
Use link text that makes sense when read out of context.
Graphs & Charts
Provide summary or use longdesc attribute.
Scripts, Applets, & Plug-ins
Provide alternative representations in case active content is inaccessible or unsupported.
Frames
Use title or name attribute and NOFRAMES element to allow access to individual pages
Tables
Don't use tables to layout columnar pages. Organize data to make sense when read row by row. Provide a summary.
Check your work
Validate the HTML & CSS. Use evaluation tools to verify accessibility.
