RE: Re: Resize Text (1.4.4)

Perhaps there is a bug in Opera?  My thinking regarding browser support
for Zoom is similar to the requirements for “supported by assistive
technology” which requires that there be a cross section of support w/ AT
for the web page but doesn’t require that it work with all forms of AT.
All information technology products have bugs/defects.  I would say that
if the zoom feature works correctly across several major browsers that
would be a good argument for conformance to this checkpoint.

I don’t know.  My guess is that there is some sort of issue with the build
or specific version of Opera that you’re using.  Do all pages exhibit the
same behavior or is it just yours?  If it is just yours then you may have
an issue.  However, if all pages in 9.6.4 are limited and the zooming
works fine in other browsers, I’d say you pass still.  Opera should zoom
to >200%, but I can’t tell from here why yours isn’t.



Thanks,

Andrew, please read this comment: "However, if your page does not zoom
correctly beyond 150% then it sounds likely that you fail." Do you still
think I passed?

Without seeing *your page* there is no way to answer this for certain.
"However, if your page does not zoom correctly beyond 150% then it sounds
likely that you fail."
