508 compliance and javascript


I run a site (ASP.NET) for a company that is in different counties, based on the link the user clicks on the landing page all the <a> tags on the page gets a string of the county added to the end of it href tag. (ex. www.somedomain.com/home.aspx?county=x ) I then use the querystring to provide county specific information.

Is this out of compliance with 508? any suggestion how to do this without javascript?


Solution

  • This is not out of compliance with 508. If you look at the requirements they don't spessify many technical requirements. As long as your site is accesible with just the keyboard you should be in good shape. Since you can tab from link to link using Javascript to create the links isn't an issue. It would be an issue if you used Javascript to draw on the canvas and required a user to click with a mouse.
