There is one potential issue that I’ve been mulling how to address, but not worked it out yet.
From testing various sites, if a site is using responsive design the 400% (320px) level it is generally fine for the zoom SC, but there are two somewhat common issues I’ve come across in the last couple of months:
1. A huge, fixed header area. Wayne mentioned this, it comes from developers not considering that the 320px width breakpoint can have a very short height. It is easy to fix: unstick the header. (Getting them to test with zoom is usually enough to motivate that fix.)
2. Removing functionality at the smaller sizes so that it isn’t available at all.
I think the second is covered (especially with the new amendment to the note yesterday), but the first is not covered in a black and white way.
I was pondering a way of saying that: if an element is fixed in the viewport and takes up more than 30% of the viewport, then it counts as a ‘loss of content’.
The zoom SC [1] is wordy already (including the notes), is this something that could be tackled in the understanding?
Cheers,
