Is a computer based training (CBT) module still considered 508 compliant if the focus moves away from the play bar after selecting a function from the play bar? e.g. I hit the Tab key to move across the play bar (As the buttons are read with JAWS) to the Play/Pause button. After hitting the spacebar to pause the presentation, I have to press the Tab key again to get my focus back into the play bar, then tab across to the Play/Pause button again to resume the playback. |

Florida and California are the top two states for lawsuits against business and government websites. What are the top 5 areas in which government and business websites tend to be inaccessible? Government websites also have issues regarding PDFs on their website that are public records -- when the public record was submitted by someone else to be recorded by the government agency, the government agency has no control over whether that document was provided in an accessible format. Are there any allowances under Section 508 for documents submitted to government agencies that public records act require to be available for download online that were not generated by the agency? |
16 |
Do plan documents, typically in a PDF format, that are advertised for public bid need to be in an accessible format? |

Some newer documentation is a little vague. This error does not appear in any checkers that we're aware of, so we get some push back sometimes on if it's necessary. Is it still required? |
18 |
