This document is part of a series of documents published by the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) to support WCAG 2.0. Please submit techniques for consideration using the " Techniques Submission Form." The WCAG WG encourages submission of such techniques so they can be considered for inclusion in this document, in order to make the set of techniques maintained by the WCAG WG as comprehensive as possible. Use of the techniques provided in this document makes it easier for Web content to demonstrate conformance to WCAG 2.0 success criteria than if these techniques are not used.īesides the techniques provided in this document, there may be other techniques that can be used to implement conformance to WCAG 2.0.
The World Wide Web Consortium only documents techniques for non-proprietary technologies the WCAG Working Group hopes vendors of other technologies will provide similar techniques to describe how to conform to WCAG 2.0 using those technologies.
Currently, technology-specific techniques are available for HTML, CSS, ECMAScript, SMIL, ARIA, and Web servers. This document provides "General Techniques" that describe basic practices that are applicable to any technology, and technology-specific techniques that provide information applicable to specific technologies. Techniques are specific authoring practices that may be used in support of the WCAG 2.0 success criteria. "Techniques and Failures for WCAG 2.0" provides information to Web content developers who wish to satisfy the success criteria of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG 2.0).
