Blocks of content available (minimum)

foundational

Normative Text

Meaningful blocks of content are programmatically determinable and visually presented with sufficient surrounding space.

Tests

This section is non-normative.

HTML sufficient space

Procedure

  1. Identify meaningful blocks of content in the page/view that are not bounded by a visual border.
  2. Examine the computed style to determine the total of margin, padding and border spacing.
  3. The spacing between all adjacent meaningful blocks of content is sufficient.

Expected results

  • #3 is true.

Programmatically identifiable meaningful blocks of content

Procedure

For each meaningful blocks of content in the page/view:

  1. Check that an appropriate role is being used for the meaningful blocks of content in the source code.
  2. Check using assistive technology that an appropriate role is being used for the meaningful blocks of content.

Expected results

  • #1 or #2 is true.

Tests

This content needs to be written.

Key Terms

meaningful blocks of content

Group of related content that represents a distinct topic or function, intended to be perceived as a single unit and capable of being programmatically identified and labelled.

These blocks are required to be programmatically determinable so that assistive technologies can identify the boundaries and purpose of the information.
