Accessibility Standards

Table of Contents

In WSS3.0 and MOSS2007 the accessibility standards are not met. This typically increases the time for a Internet facing web site from being implemented in MOSS2007.

For more information on accessibility in WSS3.0 and MOSS2007 please check the SharePoint Accessibility wiki page.

"I've heard a lot of people inside and outside of the SharePoint Conference talking about WCAG, Cross-Browser, and XHTML in SharePoint 2010. From what I can tell these things are all true for SharePoint 2010:

  • WCAG 2 Compliant for accessibility needs
  • More cross browser friendly than before
  • Mostly table-less layout
  • Out of the box master pages will be based on the XHTML Strict DocType

Now for what I don't think will be true in SharePoint 2010

To confirm Randy's statement Andrew Connell also goes on to state that it will not be W3C Compliant markup.
