Priority 2 Index
Priority 2 Item 1
When an appropriate markup language exists, use markup rather than
graphics to convey information. For example, use MathML to mark
up mathematical equations instead of using graphics to represent
symbols.
Priority 2 Item 2
Create pages that use the transitional or the strict document type
declaration (e.g., <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML
4.01 Transitional//EN"> or <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD
HTML 4.01//EN">) and include the appropriate declaration
as the first line of every HTML page.
Priority 2 Item 3
Use style sheets to control layout and presentation.
Priority 2 Item 4
Use relative rather than absolute units of measure (e.g., for margins,
font sizes, borders, etc.).
Priority 2 Item 5
Use navigation mechanisms in a consistent manner.
Priority 2 Item 6
Specify the expansion of each abbreviation or acronym in a document
where it first occurs. Providing the expansion in the main body
of the document also helps document usability.
Priority 2 Item 7
Do not cause pop-ups or other windows to appear and do not change
the current window without informing the user. If a new window is
absolutely necessary, provide an alternative, accessible means for
conveying or gathering information.
Priority 2 Item 8
Provide metadata for every page.
Priority 2 Item 9
Provide information about the general layout of a site (e.g., a
site map or table of contents).
Priority 2 Item 10
Do not use tables for layout unless the table makes sense when linearized.
Priority 2 Item 11
Create a logical tab order through links, form controls, and objects.
Priority 2 Item 12
Describe the purpose of frames and how frames relate to each other
if it is not obvious by frame titles alone.
Priority 2 Item 13
Until user agents provide the ability to stop auto-redirect, do
not use markup to redirect pages automatically. Instead, configure
the server to perform redirects. If necessary to re-direct a page
and configuring the server is not possible, label the action and
allow the user to invoke the link to the new page.
