Description
Can you tell me if your theme validates according to:
* WCAG 1.0 Priority 1
* XHTML 1.0 Strict
Also, info on Section 508 compliance would also be useful.
I haven't found an easy way to scan through those themes which comply.
#1
Validates xhtml strict & css 2.1... That's great. just need to put it into the description of the theme so it is easier to find.
#2
From testing version 6.x-1.2 at http://d-theme.com/channel_nine, this theme passes WCAG (WAI) level A then fails level AA due to improperly nested headings. Fixing this problem would also let the theme pass AAA.
The first heading is the following h2. This could be changed to a span to take it out of the heading levels.
<h2 class="title">User login</h2>The next heading is a good choice for the level 1 heading.
<h1 class='site-name'><a href="/" title="Home">D theme for da Web</a></h1>There is a second heading at level one and this should be a h2 or a div.
<h1 class="title">Channel Nine</h1>#3
