WebAIR

Is there any content on the page that updates rapidly (e.g. animated, moving or scrolling content)? (TIM07)

Why Is This Important?

Websites sometimes include content that updates rapidly (e.g. a 'ticker' on a news website that displays the latest headlines or an animated step-by-step guide). Some users may find the rapidly moving content distracting. Others may struggle to read the content in time.

How To Fix The Problem

Provide some means of pausing and restarting rapidly moving content. This may be achieved by including accessible buttons or links or by assigning a keyboard shortcut (e.g. pressing the space bar to pause/restart content).

Example

No example is available.
