Web Accessibility Report 3

Guideline 3. Use markup and style sheets and do so properly.

Misusing markup and style sheets can make it difficult if not impossible for browsers and users with special software to understand the organization of the page. However you do not want to not use elements correctly just because some older software does not handle them correctly.

  1. Use markup, not images, to convey information when appropriate markup language exists.
  2. Make documents that validate according to the current standards.
  3. Use style sheets to control layout and presentation.
  4. Use relative units rather than absolute units. Ie ems rather than px, pt or cm)
  5. Use headers to convey document structure according to the current standards.
  6. Mark up lists properly. (like this)
  7. Mark up Quotations. Use the Q and BLOCKQUOTE elements.
