508 Compliance Report -- 1st Pass

1194.22 (l) Scripts

Provision
When pages utilize scripting languages to display content, or to create
interface elements, the information provided by the script shall be
identified with functional text that can be read by assistive technology.

Plain English
Pages that employ scripts to affect the display of a page, presence of
content, or create or modify interface elements must be identified by
accessible text which can be interpreted by assistive technologies such as
screen readers.

Why this is important.
Certain scripting functions (commonly JavaScript) used to generate or
manipulate user interface elements or content may be incorrectly
interpreted or altogether ignored by accessibility technologies; others may
result in unexpected or confusing behaviors to people with special needs.
In these cases, alternative design practices and alternate functional text
must be provided to ensure accessibility to the user.

Section 508 Compliant?
Not Compliant

What must be fixed?
Some scripted form elements use mouse-only event controllers that
are not accessible for keyboard-only and assistive technology users.
All scripting functions should be tested throughout the entire site.
