Creating Accessible Web Sites

Scripts and Dynamic Pages

 

Synopsis

  1. Links to content should be accessible even if Javascript is disabled. A <noscript > alternative text-only navigational system or text links may add accessibility.

    SECTION 508 - When pages utilize scripting languages to display content, or to create interface elements, the information provided by the script shall be identified with functional text that can be read by assistive technology.

  2. If scripts are used to generate HTML code for dynamic pages, then the generated code should comply with accessibility guidelines.

  3. Avoid using arbitrary database numbers for ALT tags, TITLE tags, FRAME tags and other text-only accessibility devices.
