Checkpoint 9.4 - Core

Any movement in the site stops of its own accord or can be stopped by the user

WCAG 1.0 Priority 2

WCAG Guideline 7. Ensure user control of time-sensitive content changes.

Movement of text and images on a web site can be distracting for readers of the web page and detract from the user's attention when concentrating on, and reading content on, a web page.

Requirement

Where movement appears on the web page, ensure that it stops after a few seconds or there is an obvious mechanism to allow the user to stop the movement.

Checking Tool

View the web pages in a browser to identify any movement on the screen.
