/VIII. Coding

  1. Read more minimizing page size Page download time is minimal (preferably < 100K); images and tables are optimized.
  2. (X)HTML validates without serious warnings or errors.
  3. DOCTYPE statement is the first line of the (X)HTML.
  4. Search results are usable, and clear, descriptive and unique page titles are provided to aid users in orienting themselves within the site.
  5. Relative (ems) rather than absolute units (points or pixels) are used in markup language; information can still be accessed if the user changes the font size.
  6. Periodically auto-refreshing pages (meta-refresh) are not used.
  7. The label is properly positioned for all form controls with implicitly associated labels.
  8. The screen is not coded to flicker (blink and marquee). A flickering or flashing screen may cause seizures in users with photosensitive epilepsy.
