Images:
- A text equivalent is supplied for all important images.
- The layout does not use invisible images.
- Images are used where no other HTML element can be used to provide the information.
Colours:
- The information conveyed with colours is also accessible without colour from the context or images: borders, underlining, weight, font, etc.
- The level of contrast of the foreground and background of the colours is sufficiently high for persons with colour deficits or when viewed on a black and white screen.
- A flickering screen may cause problems for persons with photosensitive epilepsy.
Language:
- Language changes in a text are signalled with HTML flagging.
- The main language of each page is specified with the required attributes.
Structure and Presentation:
- The page setup for the Conseil de gestion de l’assurance parentale site relies in large part on the use of external style sheets, which means that the presentation style is uniform for the entire site.
- Pages are structured using HTML logic.
Tables:
- No tables have been used for the site display. Tables are used exclusively to display data.
- Line and column headers are identified with the necessary mark-up.
Scripts:
None of the scripts used on the site are essential for navigation or information-consultation purposes.
Redimensioning:
Page setup allows users to change the size of the characters using the integrated tool on each page or the navigator functions.
Navigation and Links:
- The site plan is accessible on each page.
- The navigation menu reflects the information structure.
