Test Case Instruction

Test Instruction Instruction Detail Expected Test Case Result
IC-1 Visually apparent lists. For each list, determine if it appears to be ordered, unordered, or a description list. Ordered lists <ol> are numbered sequentially and, if necessary, hierarchically (e.g., 1, 2, 2a, 2ai, etc.) and are used where sequence or the ability to reference specific items by number/letter is important. Unordered lists <ul> are not numbered and are used where sequence or the ability to reference specific items by number/letter is not important. Description lists <dl> are used to group terms with their descriptions. This code sample includes one visually apparent unordered list.
13.4-2 For each visually apparent list: Check that content that has the visual appearance of a numbered list is marked as an ordered list. [SC 1.3.1] Fail - the visually apparent ordered list is not defined programatically as a list.
Result If the above check fails, Baseline Test 13.4-List fails. FAIL; the check fails.
