Key Terms

accessibility support set

group of user agents and assistive technologies you test with

The AGWG is considering defining a default set of user agents and assistive technologies that they use when validating guidelines.

Accessibility support sets may vary based on language, region, or situation.

If you are not using the default accessibility set, the conformance report should indicate what set is being used.

accessibility supported

available and working in the user agents and assistive technology in the accessibility support set

The working group intended to include a default accessibility support set. See Default accessibility support set #277.

content

information, sensory experience and interactions conveyed

interactive element

element that responds to user input and has a distinct programmatically determinable name

In contrast to non-interactive elements. For example, headings or paragraphs.

method

detailed information, either technology-specific or technology-agnostic, on ways to satisfy the requirement

non-interactive element

element that does not respond to user input and does not include sub-parts

If a paragraph included a link, the text either side of the link would be considered a static element, but not the paragraph as a whole.

Letters within text do not constitute a “smaller part”.

programmatically determinable

meaning of the content and all its important attributes can be determined by software functionality that is accessibility supported

requirement

result of practices that reduce or eliminate barriers that people with disabilities experience
