Completed Work
W3C Recommendations have
been reviewed by W3C Members, by software developers, and by other
W3C groups and interested parties, and are endorsed by the
Director as Web Standards. Learn more about the W3C Recommendation
Track.
Group Notes are not standards and do not
have the same level of W3C endorsement.

A common method of limiting access to services made available over the Web is visual verification of a bitmapped image. This presents a major problem to users who are blind, have low vision, or have a learning disability such as dyslexia. This document examines a number of potential solutions that allow systems to test for human users while preserving access by users with disabilities.

This document describes techniques for authoring accessible Cascading Style
Sheets (CSS). Cascading Style
Sheets are defined by the W3C Recommendations "CSS Level 1" [CSS1] and "CSS
Level 2"
[CSS2]. This document is intended to help authors of Web content who
wish to claim conformance to "Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0"
([WCAG10]). While the techniques in
this document should help people author CSS that conforms to "Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines 1.0", these techniques are neither guarantees of
conformance nor the only way an author might produce conforming content.
This document is part of a series of documents about techniques for
authoring accessible Web content. For information about the other documents in
the series, please refer to "Techniques for Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines 1.0" [WCAG10-TECHS].
Note: This document contains a number of examples that
illustrate accessible solutions in CSS but also deprecated examples that
illustrate what content developers should not do. The deprecated examples are
highlighted and readers should approach them with caution -- they are meant for
illustrative purposes only.

This document describes techniques for authoring accessible Hypertext Markup
Language (HTML) content
(refer to HTML 4.01
[HTML4]). This document is intended to help authors of Web content
who wish to claim conformance to "Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0"
([WCAG10]). While the techniques in
this document should help people author HTML that conforms to "Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines 1.0", these techniques are neither guarantees of
conformance nor the only way an author might produce conforming content.

This is a W3C Working Draft produced by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Working
Group (WCAG WG). It describes requirements for Checklists and Techniques described by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG 2.0). These requirements are related to but different from Requirements for
WCAG 2.0 in that "Requirements for WCAG 2.0 Checklists and Techniques"
specifies requirements for the technology-specific documents produced by
the WCAG WG while "Requirements for WCAG 2.0" specifies general
requirements for the general usability of documents produced by the WCAG
WG. The Working Group encourages feedback about these requirements as well
as participation in the development of WCAG 2.0 by people who have
experience creating Web content that conforms to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0.
