Currently Unaddressed Accessibility Issues
Accessibility Criteria 3.8
Microsoft FrontPage still generates deprecated W3C technology for tables. Because of this, the only way to get tables completely compliant is to create them in html or to use absolute positioning in a cascading style sheet. University criterion 3.8 states that "Markup shall be used to associate data cells and header cells for data tables that have two or more logical levels of rows or column headers . . ." Although it is not specific as to which set of markup to use (since FrontPage does create markup - just outdated), I am assuming it means the newest versions. Since recreating every preexisting table in the web seems unreasonable, this issue has been unaddressed thus far. If anyone has any additional insight on this matter, please contact the webmaster.
Accessibility Criteria 3.5
"Readability - Use of style sheets is recommended for document presentation." Although creating a CSS page with style elements for text etc. is fairly easy. Presentation elements such as absolute positioning and table elements are very complicated. Not using CSS for these elements will lower accessibility ratings by most major accessibility software programs and websites considerably. Because CSS is not required but recommended, some ratings are only reduced by about 2-4% while some reputable programs like BobbyReader will reduced ratings to an incompliant status.
Accessibility Criteria 3.11
Adding links that are accessible through JavaScript such as the pull down menus of the tamug homepage elsewhere on the page has so far proved unsuccessful in meeting this compliance criteria. If anyone has any suggestions or comments regarding this issue please contact the webmaster.
Website Overview
The tamug public website currently has 3250 pages. A chart depicting the percentage of current pages that have been reviewed for compliance and meet at least the minimum standard follows:
