These are the evaluation questions associated with this checkpoint, followed by the evaluation tool/method used to answer the question.
- Must repair: Are HTML event handlers accessible to both mouse and keyboard
users? (fix if "no" unless mouseovers are purely decorative; e.g.,
changing color of a graphic link.)
The following "Must repair" question is under dispute. We
are currently not evaluating Websites for an answer to this particular question. An email will be sent to all webmasters once we receive a decision regarding this question.
- Must repair: Is all content and functionality generated by scripts (including
href="javascript:...") also provided to user agents that do not support scripts? (fix if "no" unless "functionality" is
purely decorative).
- Visual Inspection
- Firefox /developer: Disable -> Disable JavaScript -> All
JavaScript (then re-load page)
Best practice: use CSS :hover in place of JavaScript and graphic links.
Best practice: Don't use href="javascript:..." for anything.
