From: David MacDonald [mailto:david100@sympatico.ca] Sent: Monday, July 4, 2016 3:06 PM SC X.X.X If text is resized up to 200% (or 300, 400, 800%?) without assistive technology, the layout of the Web page ensures that it can be viewed in its entirety without requiring the user to scroll the viewport horizontally, and without loss of content or functionality, unless a particular presentation of text is essential to the information being conveyed. [Jason] Having thought about this a little further, I suspect it’s too strict. For example, data tables can be linearized, hence one could argue that the tabular format isn’t essential to conveying the information, and perhaps not even to the user’s carrying out of tasks that can reasonably be expected to be performed. However, it may make the performance of these tasks more difficult for the user than preserving the spatial layout and requiring horizontal scrolling. Perhaps we could say “unless a spatial layout that requires such scrolling is substantially more effective than any alternative layout in enabling users to read and interact with the content”. Let’s keep thinking about this and refine the text further. ________________________________ This e-mail and any files transmitted with it may contain privileged or confidential information.
