Can WWB be used to an AA certification level ?

[alex4orly]

I am asked this question for a new project, it left me wondering....
Hope to hear an answer here

Thanks

I'm sorry, I am not familiar with AA certification level.
How is this related to web design?

I may be wrong here but Alex are you referring to compliance for users that may have a disability. My understanding of this it is not the tool or program used but how the developer (You Yourself) implements such requirements in there design for users with disabilities.

If I am wrong then please be more specific as this certification may only apply to Australian Rules and Regulations and a different compliance for other countries such as in the UK.

What the Australian government complies to see links in page.

Yes, that is what is requested - for people with disabilities.
One of the requirements is for visitors to be able to change at runtime - the font size on the page
Can that be done with WWB? How?

Thanks

There is no standard solution for this as it will require a script. In general if a user needs this then they will use the browsers zoom in/out feature. Or if using a mobile browser then they will use the pinch method. I know this may not meet the requirements but as previously it can be done with either javascript or jquery.

Thnaks Baconfries,
The 2nd option is what I see as more commonly used

Cheers

Your welcome. Try a 'Google' search on this were I am sure you will find a multitude of references to other solutions that can be used. I would also recommend using the 'alt' on images (mouse over) when you can as this will be used by screen readers giving a vocal description of it, it will even read the tag if the image isnt on the server as it the tag that is read...

[alex4orly]

No idea what is the ALT key over images, how do i do that?
I still have a lot to learn...
Thanks again for holding my hand...

What BF is referring to is making sure all your images have alt tag descriptions. The descriptions should be short descriptions of the image.

Not sure if this would help but I have used this to test websites for compliance.

Just type in the web address and it will point out issues it finds.
