On Findability, Usability, and Accessibility
Running each page of Module 5 through the HTML Validator resulted in the following:
- Results: Errors 1-10 were related to the meta data code we had copied and added into the heads of our HTML documents. Errors 11-13 and error 20 were for "center" tags, with the instruction to use CSS instead. Errors 14-19 and errors 21-24 were due to my use of the line-break tag. The last set of errors 25-30 were related to the Creative Commons License.
- Thoughts for Revision: Since the meta data content at the top of our HTML documents was copied for each page those errors were consistent for all three webpages. Errors 11-13 and error 20 were the result of using the "center" tag. I need to remove these tags from my HTML documents and add the necessary elements into my CSS stylesheets. Errors 14-19 and errors 21-24 resulted from the line-break tag. I need to talk to Professor Eyman about correcting these because I want my written content in the lists to be separated by a space, but when I removed these tags the spaces disappeared. I tried to research online some possible solutions, but I am still unsure if I need to correct these line-break errors. The last set of errors, which were errors 25-30, resulted from the Creative Commons License code at the footer of my pages, which I am not going to touch.
Running the Module 5 pages' CSS3 through the W3C CSS validator revealed just a few errors. The first one related to a Font-Family element where I had added extra quotation before naming the font. I removed this quotation within all the CSS stylesheets. The next error was due to a "line-height" element in regards to my "li" selector. I am unsure why this is an error, and need to talk to Professor Eyman for clarification and a possible solution. The last error was caused by a blank border color designation. I removed this element from all the CSS stylesheets to correct the issue.
Running each page of Module 5 on the WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool revealed 0 errors. Module 6 likewise had 0 errors.
Finally, in testing on multiple browsers, I had the following results:
- Mac 10.8, Safari 6.2: Looks fine.
- Google Chrome Version 49.0.2623.87 (64-bit): Looks fine.
