44、<p>  (c) Web pages shall be designed so that all information conveyed with color is also available without color, for example from context or markup. While color can be used, it cannot be the sole source or indica

45、tor of information. Imagine an educational website offering a story problem presented in black and green print, and the answer to the problem could be deciphered using only the green letters. This would be inaccessible t

47、ing style sheets (CSS) can improve accessibility because they allow the separation of presentation from content. However, not all browsers fully support CSS, so web pages need to be designed so any browser can read them

48、accurately. The content needs to be organized so that it can be read and understood with CSS formatting turned off.</p><p>  (e) Redundant text links shall be provided for each active region of a server-side

50、f as a geometrically defined and arranged group of links to other content on a site. A clickable map of the fifty U.S. states is an example of a functioning image map. A server-side image map would appear to a screen rea

53、consideration the directions in subparagraph above.</p><p>  (i) Frames shall be titled with text that facilitates frame identification and navigation. Frames are a deprecated feature of HTML, and their use

54、should be avoided in favor of CSS layout.</p><p>  (j) Pages shall be designed to avoid causing the screen to flicker with a frequency greater than 2 Hz and lower than 55 Hz. Lights with flicker rates in thi

55、s range can trigger epileptic seizures. Blinking or flashing elements on a webpage should be avoided until browsers provide the user with the ability to control flickering.</p><p>  (k) A text-only page, wit

56、h equivalent information or functionality, shall be provided to make a Web site comply with the provisions of this part, when compliance cannot be accomplished any other way. The content of the text-only page shall be up

57、dated whenever the primary page changes. Complex content that is entirely visual in nature may require a separate text-only page, such as a page showing the English alphabet in American Sign Language. This requirement al

61、be present on the client system to interpret page content, the page must provide a link to a plug-in or applet. Web developers need to ascertain whether a given plug-in or applet is accessible before requiring their webp

62、age's visitors to use it. When using applications such as QuickTime or RealAudio, it is important to provide an accessible link on the same page that will allow users to install the necessary plug-in.</p><
