- CSU CSU developed manual protocols based on WCAG 2.0 draft
Compliance Sheriff/Deputy CSU stakeholders developed Checkpoints to
be used with Compliance Sheriff CSU accessible technology network
tested the checkpoints and CSUN supports them CSU Checkpoints
mapped 508 to WCAG 2.0 to make 508 testable CSU then added the
manual protocol which goes above and beyond 508 Visual checks are
required ati.calstate.edu/file.php/23/HiSoftware/CSU-ATI-

H24 Provide text alternatives for the area elements of image maps
(WCAG2) Auto Pass / Fail N/A The objective of this technique is to
provide text alternatives that serve the same purpose as the
selectable regions of an image map. An image map is an image
divided into selectable regions defined by area elements. Each area
is a link to another Web page or another part of the current Web
page. The alt attribute of each area element serves the same
purpose as the selectable area of the image. http://www.w3.org/

alternatives on applet elements (WCAG2) AutoPass / Fail Provide a
text alternative for an applet by using the alt attribute to label
an applet and providing the text alternative in the body of the
applet element. Both mechanisms are required due to the varying
support of the alt attribute and applet body text by user agents.
http://www.w3.org/ TR/WCAG20- TECHS/H35.html H36 Use alt attributes
on images used as submit buttons (WCAG2) AutoPass / Fail For input
elements of type 'image', the alt attribute of the input element is
used to provide a functional label. This label indicates the
button's function, but does not attempt to describe the image. The
label is especially important if there are multiple submit buttons
on the page that each lead to different results. http://www.w3.org/
