2009 Summary
Problems Found:
Checkpoint A, equivalent text: Under the News header, text content contained with the images disappears when the images are not available. Also, the ALT tags do not display in the browser; this appears to be a function of the javascript display.
Checkpoint C, color: In the left menu bar, there is not enough contrast between the font near the bottom and the background:
- Foreground:#666666 Background:#BBBBBB
- color difference:255/brightness difference:85
- The difference in brightness between the two colors is not sufficient. The threshold is 125, and the result of the foreground and background colors is 85.
- The difference in color between the two colors is not sufficient. The threshold is 500, and the result of the foreground and background colors is 255.
Checkpoint D, styles: With CSS disabled, the top navigation is difficult to use; the headings are disassociated with their links. Both keyboard and mouse users will experience difficulty.
Checkpoint G, simple tables: Layout tables do not have the "summary=" attribute. (This is a "best practice," not a "failure".)
Checkpoint L, scripts: The "Current Students" and the "Prospective Students" options in the top navigation bar do not function with javacript disabled and no alternative is available. The photo news feature does not work with javascript disabled.
Checkpoint N, forms: <Input> elements are lacking associated <label> elements.
Evaluation: Requires changes in color, CSS, and navigation. This page also has HTML header issues.
2007 Summary
Problems Found:
Checkpoint A, equivalent text: Some design and graphic elements have descriptive rather than empty ALT tags.
Checkpoint C, color: With CSS disabled, there is not enough contrast between the fonts and the background color in the left-side menu:
- Foreground:#0000FF Background:#013668
- color difference:206/brightness difference:14
- The difference in brightness between the two colors is not sufficient. The threshold is 125, and the result of the foreground and background colors is 14.
- The difference in color between the two colors is not sufficient. The threshold is 500, and the result of the foreground and background colors is 206.
Checkpoint D, styles: Styles are used to simulate headings. Top navigation is not accessible to keyboard users unless CSS is disabled.
Checkpoint L, scripts: Top navigation does not function with javascript disabled and no alternative is available. Scrolling news items disappear without javascript, and there is no alternative navigation.
Checkpoint O, skip links: There are no links to skip navigation, and headings, which would aid in navigating the page, are not used.
Evaluation: Requires changes in color, CSS, and navigation. The time to accomplish this is unknown.
