[WSG] Page titles and WCAG2.0 compliance [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

2012-06-13 Thread Blumer, Luke
Hi all,

Thanks for all your help in regards to the Skip to issue I was having. I have 
another question in regards to Page titles.

We are currently looking at ALL web pages in the following format:
Homepage: Australian Taxation Office | Home
All other web pages: Page Title | Australian Taxation Office

We are keen to have it in this format as it then provides a better search 
engine (such as Google) experience. However before we take this step we want to 
ensure it does not cause any issues with WCAG 2.0 and consistency? 

Once again thankyou in advance for any help.

Regards,

LUKE BLUMER

Apologies.. Some reason my email appeared different to how it was structured in 
my email view. 

Hopefully it is fixed in this one.

[WSG] WCAG 2.0 compliance and best practise on the Skip to function [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

2012-06-04 Thread Blumer, Luke
Hi All,

We are currently in the process of redesigning our website and are
looking into the Skip to functionality. 

We are currently considering using:

*   Skip to Search
*   Skip to Primary Navigation
*   Skip to Secondary Navigation
*   Skip to Main Content
*   Skip to Sitemap

We are wondering if there is any information on best practice for the
Skip to function and whether there is a generally acceptable limit as
to how many Skip to links should be used?

We are also wondering whether we should be considering other ways for
users to navigate around our pages such as AccessKey
http://validator.w3.org/accesskeys.html and whether this technique
should be used to reduce the number of Skip to links we have listed
above? 

Is there any native browser functionality that performs any of these
functions that we should account for?

Thankyou in advance for any advice.

Regards,

Luke Blumer

[WSG] WSG: Best Practice Page/Content Tools [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

2012-02-26 Thread Blumer, Luke
Hi all,

I have been looking at sites that contain a selection of tools for
content, generally looking after print, email, and text size, shown in
the below site. 

http://www.educationtaxrefund.gov.au/

Does anyone know what this function is called? Or where I could find
information, if there is any, on best practice for implementing these
functions in a website? Are these button functions even required
considering that modern browsers enable you to perform all these actions
natively?

Regards,

Luke Blumer
