Interactive Samples

Tips:

  • Because background images are often used in interactive elements (e.g., buttons and links), it can be helpful to use other ANDI modules (e.g., focusable elements and/or links/buttons), to identify whether information is conveyed with more than just the image itself.
  • As described in the "How to Test" portion of the test process for Test ID 7.C, use both the "find background" and "hide background" features of the ANDI: graphics/images module to identify background images and evaluate whether their equivalent meaning is available without the background images.
