About this reportThe Bobby report presents an accessibility evaluation grouped by the three priority levels defined by the Web Access Initiative (WAI), as well as browser compatibility and download statistics. As an automated evaluation tool, Bobby is able to detect many accessibility problems and to highlight other possible problems that must be checked. A "Bobby" hat in the original page (if displayed) indicates that Bobby was able to detect a Priority 1 problem with accessibility. A question mark indicates a Priority 1 item that needs to be checked by the user. Follow the links provided in the report to get details about any problem reported, including how to repair it, if needed. For more information on the report, please access our online documentation. To be Bobby Approved, a page must pass all of the Priority 1 accessibility checkpoints established by the WAI. |
This is an example of how one would go about using what's known as a "d-link" to provide information on the content of an image for non-visual users.
The small letter "[D]" next to the graphic above, when clicked on, will lead to a page which describes the graphic used as the ER Toolkit Logo and explains its relevance. If you prefer, you can change the color of the [D] to correspond to the background color of the page. This makes it, in effect, invisible to sighted visitors but it is still available for users with visual impairments or who are using text browsers. For an example of that, see the Employee Toolkit Site sample in my Portfolio section. (Hint: The d-link is on the right of the toolkit logo at the top of the page; move your cursor just to the bottom-right of the graphic and you'll see your cursor change into a hand, indicating the link.)

Download Time
The following three-column table gives download time statistics for the images, applets, and objects on this page. The first column contains the URL of each item, the second column the item size in kilobytes, and the third column the approximate download time for each item when using a 28,800 baud modem. At the end of the report, an arbitrary delay of 0.5 seconds is added for each file to account for slow-downs caused by HTTP connection times.
