What is the definition of the perceivable web accessibility principle?
The ability to perceive web content through at least one of your biological senses, with
the focus being on sight, sound, and touch
How does someone perceive web content via sight?
They look at it and the brain translates the visual stimulus into meaningful information;
works well for those with good vision but not so well for those who do not

fundamentally different experience to access the web in this way, but not necessarily
bad
How does someone perceive web content via touch?
Screen readers can convert digital text, including audio transcripts, into Braille
What can you use to make dynamic interactions accessible using digital text?
Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA)
Why is the perceivable web accessibility principle important?
People can't access content unless they know it's there and making sure users know
what's on the web page means you know they are able to access it
What is the definition of the operable web accessibility principle?
Making the input methods of web content functionality available to a wide range of input
devices, including: mouse or touch pad, keyboard, touchscreen, voice recognition
software, and other specialized input devices
What is the goal of the operable web accessibility principle?
To allow all features to work, no matter what input device a person is using
, What are the components of the operable web accessibility principle? (4)
1. Navigating into web components
2. Using features within them
3. Navigating through them
4. Navigating out of them
With Flash objects, what is the keyboard trap?
Users are able to navigate into, within, and through a Flash object using a keyboard, but
are unable to navigate out of them
How can you script for device independence? (3)
1. Use device-independent event handlers, such as onfocus, onblur and onselect, rather
than device-specific event handlers such as onmouseover, onmouseout and ondblclick
2. If you need to use a device-specific event handler, include a redundant keyboard-
specific event handler as well
3. Test the content in multiple ways and on touch screens
When you create dynamic interactions, pay close attention to the location of the
____________ _____.
Programmatic focus
When are session timeouts allowable?
When the user is given sufficient warning and is able to navigate into, within, through
and out of the notification
You can accomplish near-universal operability of your web content by making it
_________ __________.
Keyboard accessible (but don't ignore mouse users)
What is the definition of the understandable web accessibility principle?
Making content and interfaces people can comprehend
How would you go about making content and interfaces understandable? (4)
1. Specify the language of the document and of specific phrases, if the language is
different
2. Simplify the reading or vocabulary level
3. Avoid terminology or unfamiliar or complex concepts
4. Provide supplemental formats to increase understanding
Web sites with multiple pages or views should maintain a __________ ____ and ____

Consistent look, feel
True or False: generally, it is a good idea to design a completely new and different way
of interacting with web components.
False
How can you provide assistance with error prevention and correction? (2)
1. Provide instructions, hints, and contextual help when asking for user input and if the
field has any special constraints
2. Provide feedback with confirmation and error messages, available to both sighted
and non-sighted users
What is the definition of the robust web accessibility principle?
Ensuring compatibility with a broad range of user agents, including assistive
technologies
