<p class="lead">Bootstrap follows common web standards and—with minimal extra effort—can be used to create sites that are accessible to those using <abbr title="Assistive Technology" class="initialism">AT</abbr>.</p>

<h2>Skip navigation</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>If your navigation contains many links and comes before the main content in the DOM, add a <code>Skip to main content</code> link before the navigation (for a simple explanation, see this <a href="http://a11yproject.com/posts/skip-nav-links/">A11Y Project article on skip navigation links</a>). Using the <code>.sr-only</code> class will visually hide the skip link, and the <code>.sr-only-focusable</code> class will ensure that the link becomes visible once focused (for sighted keyboard users).</p>

<div class="bs-callout bs-callout-danger" id="callout-skiplinks">

<p>Due to long-standing shortcomings/bugs in Chrome (see <a href="https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=262171" title="Chromium bug tracker - Issue 262171: Focus should cycle from named anchor">issue 262171 in the Chromium bug tracker</a>) and Internet Explorer (see this article on <a href="http://accessibleculture.org/articles/2010/05/in-page-links/">in-page links and focus order</a>), you will need to make sure that the target of your skip link is at least programmatically focusable by adding <code>tabindex="-1"</code>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In addition, you may want to explicitly suppress a visible focus indication on the target (particularly as Chrome currently also sets focus on elements with <code>tabindex="-1"</code> when they are clicked with the mouse) with <code>#content:focus { outline: none; }</code>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Note that this bug will also affect any other in-page links your site may be using, rendering them useless for keyboard users. You may consider adding a similar stop-gap fix to all other named anchors / fragment identifiers that act as link targets.</p>

<h2>Nested headings</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>When nesting headings (<code><h1></code> - <code><h6></code>), your primary document header should be an <code><h1></code>. Subsequent headings should make logical use of <code><h2></code> - <code><h6></code> such that screen readers can construct a table of contents for your pages.</p>

<h2>Color contrast</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>Currently, some of the default color combinations available in Bootstrap (such as the various <a href="../css/#buttons">styled button</a> classes, some of the code highlighting colors used for <a href="../css/#code-block">basic code blocks</a>, the <code>.bg-primary</code> <a href="../css/#helper-classes-backgrounds">contextual background</a> helper class, and the default link color when used on a white background) have a low contrast ratio (below the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#visual-audio-contrast-contrast">recommended ratio of 4.5:1</a>). This can cause problems to users with low vision or who are color blind. These default colors may need to be modified to increase their contrast and legibility.</p>
