. If the Section 508 issues listed below do not apply to your page, then it qualifies as Bobby Section 508 Approved and you are entitled to use the Bobby Section 508 Approved icon. To obtain the icon and learn how to place it in your page, visit the Icon Guidelines page on the CAST web site.

Section 508 Accessibility

Section 508 User Checks

User checks are triggered by something specific on the page; however, you need to determine whether they apply. Bobby Section 508 Approval requires that none of them apply to your page. Please review these 4 item(s):

  1. If style sheets are ignored or unsupported, are pages still readable and usable?
  2. If this is a data table (not used for layout only), identify headers for the table rows and columns. (1 instance)
    Line 63-64
  3. If you use color to convey information, make sure the information is also represented another way. (3 instances)
    Lines 56, 68, 79
  4. If a table has two or more rows or columns that serve as headers, use structural markup to identify their hierarchy and relationship. (3 instances)
    Lines 63-64, 99-100, 53-54

The following 2 item(s) are not triggered by any specific feature on your page, but are still important for accessibility and are required for Bobby Section 508 Approved status.

  1. If you can't make a page accessible, construct an alternate accessible version.
  2. If a timed process is about to expire, give the user notification and a chance to extend the timeout.
