38
Q

If a page has 3 headings, and an <iframe>, and if the page within the <iframe> has 2 headings, how many headings total will show up in the screen reader’s list of headings on the parent page?

A. 3
B. 5
C. 7
D. 13

A

B. 5

40
Q

C. ins
D. mark
E. code
F. pre
G. B and C
H. D and E
I. All of the above
J. None of the above

A

J. None of the above

Note:

If the emphasis is critical to understand the text — then you’ll need to find another way to create emphasis. Such as adding “Important” or “Warning” to your text to make sure that the content is emphasized. Alternativly you can addinvisible text for screen readers.

41
Q

If you want to highlight text on a web page, when is it necessary to add additional text so that screen reader users know the text is important?

A. Always
B. Never
C. When the emphasis in the highlighting changes the meaning of the text

A

C. When the emphasis in the highlighting changes the meaning of the text.

Note:
Even though the <mark> element is semantically-correct, current screen readers do not notify users that a <mark> element is present, so there is no benefit to screen reader users (even though sighted users still benefit, because of the visual background color highlighting). That said, the <mark> element is still the best choice because that tag conveys the intended purpose (to mark something as highlighted).</mark></mark></mark>

Critical highlighted text SHOULD be supplemented with a text-based method to convey the meaning of the highlighting.

42
Q

Screen readers announce emphasized text when it is marked with:

A. b
B. i
C. em
D. strong
E. mark
F. The word “Important: “ (or similar) in front of the emphasized text

H. None of the above

A

F. The word “Important: “ (or similar) in front of the emphasized text

43
Q

A. Twin mattress $300 $250!
B. Twin mattress deleted $300, inserted $250!
C. Twin mattress was $300, now $250!

A

A. Twin mattress $300 $250!

Notes:

  • Screen readers do not support the [del] element. They read the text, but do not notify users that the text has been deleted.
  • Screen readers do not support the [ins] element. They read the text, but do not notify users that the text has been inserted.

Use hidden text to convey inserted text. For example:

[p]Twin mattress [del][span class=”visually-hidden”]was[/span]$300[/del][ins][span class=”visually-hidden”]now[/span]$250[/ins][/p]

44
Q

Which of the following is a recommended way to emphasize text accessibly for screen reader users?

B. Use all capital letters
C. Increase the font size
D. Add class=”important” to the text
