RE: advisory tech for 2.5.1

Hi Sophia

I was thinking of a popup client side script with the error message. I
recently came across that on a site I was evaluating for a bank. It was more
accessible than the pages that put the errors at the top of the page because
the popup brought focus to the error message which was in the popup. My
blind screen reader evaluator really liked it.

I've changed the example to remove the part about the error being after the
submit button. Does it work now?

Hi David and all,
 
I know this has already been discussed and surveyed, but here is a comment
if you are able to consider the following at this stage:
 
I am unsure about including Example 2 as is. In my experience, I would say
that screen reader users will most likely miss the text message that is
inserted into the document after the submit button. Client side scripting
will not alert the user to the change (generally speaking) and the user is
likely waiting for a new page load the reader to begin reading the page. A
more effective technique would be use an alert box because the user can not
miss it.
 
The above would require changes to the procedure section too.
 
I also made some small edits to the Description part of the page (fixing
spelling errors and the like).
 
Sofia
