Dear All, I am reaching out regarding a clarification on the testing procedure for text resizing, specifically in relation to success Criterion 1.4.4. Upon reviewing the provided testing procedure for Failure F94 ( https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Techniques/failures/F94) the following procedure is mentioned. Procedure: In a desktop browser with a resizable window: 1. Set zoom level to 100%. 2. Set window size to 1280 pixels wide. 3. Visit the page to be tested. 4. Use any of the following methods to resize text when available: - the zoom feature of the browser - the text-sizing feature of the browser, - on-page controls for resizing text. 5. Check that the text resizes by one of the methods above, and can be resized to at least 200% of the default. Now, point number two states that the window size should be 1280 pixels wide, and the testing technique discusses resizing text using various methods, including the browser zoom and text-sizing features, as well as on-page options for resizing text. To ensure accurate testing and compliance, I am seeking clarification on the following points: 1. Is it acceptable to simply resize the page to 200% zoom using the browser feature to achieve SC 1.4.4: Resize Text? or 2. Should there be a prior step to adjust the window size to 1280 pixels wide before zooming the page to 200%, as suggested in the testing procedure? 3. Alternatively, is it advisable to utilize a bookmarklet to conduct the test resize of text for verification of 1.4.4? Bookmarklet code: javascript: (function () { const htmlElement = document.querySelector('html'); const currentFontSize = htmlElement.style.getPropertyValue('font-size'); const isZoomed = currentFontSize === '200%'; const newFontSize = isZoomed ? null : '200%'; htmlElement.style.setProperty('font-size', newFontSize); })(); I would greatly appreciate your insights and guidance on the most appropriate testing methodology. Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response. Best regards, Ragu (He/Him)
