Re: Where does CSS issue fail WCAG2?

When I conduct audits, I usually add a section that covers any functional, organizational, usability, or design issues that I find problematic. I frequently find this to be a good place to mention things like button or form field placement that adversely impact people using screen magnification but do not fit neatly into the standards. I make it clear that these items are not required by the standards.

No Mike, I'm sure they didn't mean it to look like that. But unfortunately my audit ccan only flag up WCAG2 failures.

Cheers, Lynn
