Overview Evaluation Questions Solutions


These are the evaluation questions associated with this checkpoint, followed by the evaluation tool/method used to answer the question.

  1. Must repair: Can a user navigate over groups of links, between multiple groups of links, and between sections of the page content by means of a skip navigation link or section headings? (fix if "no”)

    • Internet Explorere / AIS: Structure > Headings
    • Visual and functional inspection
    • Internet Explorer / AIS: Structure > Show Tab Order
    • Keyboard Manipulation
    • JAWS

Best practice: Headings are most helpful for users of modern assistive technology; "skip" links and headings, however, can be used in combination where appropriate.

  • Internet Explorere / AIS: Structure > Headings
  • Visual and functional inspection
  • Internet Explorer / AIS: Structure > Show Tab Order
  • Keyboard Manipulation
  • JAWS
