Method
Normative standard.
Claims used
- SC 1.4.10 Reflow: content should be available without two-dimensional scrolling at the equivalent of 320 CSS px.
- SC 1.4.13: hover- or focus-triggered content must be dismissible, hoverable, and persistent.
- SC 2.1.1: all functionality must be operable through a keyboard.
- SC 2.3.3: interaction-triggered motion animation must be disableable.
- SC 2.5.8: pointer targets should meet a minimum 24 × 24 CSS px size.
- SC 4.1.3: status messages must be programmatically identifiable without receiving focus.
Extracted principles
- Motion should be opt-inConditionally supported
Define animation only inside prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference, so newly added components are static by default.
- Feedback at the point of actionSupported
An action should confirm its result at the triggering control, without shifting the layout, and announce the outcome to assistive technology.
Information shown on hover must also be available through keyboard focus, remain dismissible, and stay open when the pointer moves onto it.
- Targets should be large enoughNot tested
Pointer and touch targets should be at least 24 × 24 px because selection time depends on target size and distance.
Content should remain intact at 320 CSS px without page-level two-dimensional scrolling, even when experimental visual effects are enabled.
