- Links are easy to locate/identify; consistent and accessible colors/style are used for links and visited links.
There is a clear indication of the current location (e.g., breadcrumbs).- Clickable target areas are not small.
- Pop-ups or other windows do not appear, and the current window is not changed without informing the user.
- Users are not directed into pages that have no navigational options.
- Links correspond to headings of the pages to which they refer.
- Text, rather than a graphic, is used for links, and the same link text format is provided on the same page.
- Links point directly to the information requested (i.e., specific information is not linked to broad information that then requires the user to relocate the specific information on the linked page).
- Error messages are easy to notice and provide a suggested remedy.
- Users are informed of download file size and format (e.g., 65KB, PDF).
- If information is provided in PDF format, the same information is provided in an alternative, accessible format (e.g. HTML or text) and/or links to the Access Adobe website are offered.
- Pages are usable when scripts, applets, or other programmatic objects are turned off or not supported (amongst other things, this means not relying on JavaScript).
- There are no broken or missing links, images, elements or e-mail addresses.
- The target element of each link is clearly identified.
- All links are updated to reflect the most current URL, with any redirects implemented on the server-side.
