No auto redirect is used |
Section 508 1194.22(p); WAI / WCAG 1.0 checkpoint 7.5
Issue Description The page is automatically updated after a given time and a new page is automatically loaded after a given time. You should remove this behavior.
How to fix Until browsers allow users to turn off automatically updating features, do not use auto-refresh or auto-redirect. If auto-redirect is needed, then implement it using the redirection capabilities offered by the server. This will not affect accessibility of the pages because the page would change only as a consequence of the user requesting a page from the server. If this is not possible, then you should provide the users with the means to access and navigate the items present on the current page also in the new page that is loaded automatically. In this way, the user will still be able to access those items when the two pages switch.
Issue Explanation Pages that are automatically updated may pose significant problems to people who are disabled or who use technology that hinders normal interaction patterns. For example, screen readers might not be working properly when the page updates, or people with physical disabilities might not be able to move quickly or accurately through the page content and navigation items. Also, people may face problems if for some reason they are slow in reading the page, if they use a very slow internet connection, or if they use a small screen that forces them to read more slowly. Until browsers allow users to turn off these automatically updating features, do not use auto-refresh.
