Over Half of the UK government websites contain HTML errors
By
Some 60% of UK government websites contain HTML errors, according to a study by the University of Southampton. Looks like one of the coders will be in some hot water now that the news story is out.
The Southampton University report found that 61% of these websites did not fully comply with guidelines from the World Wide Web Consortium, the organisation which creates web standards and guidelines. Researchers said not complying with these guidelines could prevent some individuals from being able to access the websites. Contrast between background and text, site navigation and use of colours all have an effect on how effectively disabled people can use particular websites.
