OneVu 2.12 - Accessibility Enhancements

Following the updates made in September 2019 for WCAG 2.1 (v2.8) we have made some further changes in this release.

These ensure that the hierarchy of classes are now ordered in line with accessibility requirements. To explain, in web pages it is expected that where headings are used they should follow the order of:

h1 > h2 > h3 > h4 > hn.

I.e. the biggest headings should only have smaller headings below them.

Previously there were instances where the order was:

h1 > h3 > h2

This release ensures such instances are now corrected.

There is however a consequence of this relating to your council specific branding i.e. CSS. It might be the case that following the change to the HTML tags that changes are also required to your CSS.

Therefore when the release is installed you should DEFINITELY check the look and feel of the content within OneVu.
