Issue Explanation Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a great technology for separating content and its structure from presentation. Usually when content is organized logically, it will be rendered in a meaningful order when style sheets are turned off or not supported. However, there may be situations where CSS gets in the way, limiting accessibility to a web page. For example, old browsers do not support CSS, and thus page authors should not rely on styles to convey information or enable navigation. Also, user-defined style information (such as font size, font color) should be unaffected by styles specified in the page. |
