Our application allows the creation of forms for people with disabilities that meet most Section 508 requirements.
They can be accessed and filled out using a screen reader and keyboard (including an accessible keyboard).
In order to build an accessible Section 508-compliant form one should follow these requirements:
-
It is not recommended to use questions of 'Rate Different Items' and '3D Matrix' types because they can be displayed and filled in differently using different browsers and screen readers.
-
Questions that contain radio-buttons ('Pick One or Other', 'Compare One Against Another', etc.) should be designed using <default/> tag to mark the default answer choice.
-
It is not recommended to use 'Other' option ('Pick One or Other' and 'Check All That Apply' types of question).
-
It is not recommended to use "Access Time Saver" plugin in this type of forms.
In "Preview" mode default answer choice will not be marked. This feature works for real launch only.
