Accessibility Testing Results

This site is generally accessible, but suffers from the Yahoo signup form which could cause problems for some users. Image titles are used as title and alt attributes. Keyboard access is good, and the site can be viewed without the stylesheet. Zooming and contrast on the site are also acceptable.

#	Test	Score	Summary
1	Login, Signup and Other Forms Accessible		Standard Yahoo.com signup, which uses a visual Captcha and no alternative form. This is not accessible for screenreader users. Further forms inside Flickr lack form labelling.
2	Image ALT Attributes		Alternative text is offered on many images, some small non-critical icons lack alt tags.
3	Link Target Definitions		Links have titles to uniquely identify them.
4	Frame Titles and Layout		No frames used in the page design. Some iframes are used, and these lack titles.
5	Removal of Stylesheet		The page is fully accessible without the stylesheet.
6	Audio/Video Features		A text description of videos can be provided by the video owner. Captions also have to be added before uploading to Flickr
7	Video/animations - audio descriptions		A text description of videos can be provided by the video owner. Audio descriptions also have to be added before uploading to Flickr
8	Appropriate use of Tables		Tables are used, and do not have headings.
9	Tab Orderings Correct and Logical		Tab ordering is consistent and logical, in a top-to-bottom, left-to-right format.
10	Page Functionality with Keyboard		The site, including media content, is accessible without a keyboard.
11	Accessibility of Text Editors		The site has no rich text editor.
12	Appropriate Feedback with Forms		This site often provides suitable feedback, which explains what the user is required to enter. No time restrictions are enforced.
13	Contrast and Colour Check		Most contrast ratios are adequate, but some non-critical text has a poor luminosity contrast ratio.
14	Page Integrity when Zooming		The layout and readability of the site is unaffected by zooming.
15	Text size, style, blinking elements and Readability		The majority of text is size 10 which may be uncomfortable for some users. Sans-serif fonts are used, and there is no flashing or blinking content.
