Forum Archive - Accessibility WCAG 2.0 (Level AA)

Is it possible to do something for this? http://www.aslromag.info/Gtranslate.jpg

Hi, What is the purpose to change it, please explain more in details. Thanks!

If I put the url of the home page of my site in AChecker (The accessibility validator) it says that there is one problem about GTranslate (select element missing an association label). Please you can try at http://achecker.ca/checker/index.php setting WCAG 2.0 (AA) with the URL http://www.aslromag.info/web

Hi, You may create a label for the select tag. However it is not necessary since select attribute has a description what to select. The errors you get are only recommendations. Thanks!

I read "known problem" and no "recommendation"....anyway, I am not a programmer. If you please can tell me something like ...add this....at this line... Otherwise my site will be not validate Thanks

If you read the WCAG 2.0 paper you will see that it is a recommendation: http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/ You will need to edit modules/mod_gtranslate/tmpl/default.php file and instead of <select write <label for="select_language">Select language</label> <select id="select_language" Hopefully it will solve the validation issue you get on that site, but it will add additional label in front of the language selector dropdown and I'm not sure that you will like it. Thanks!

Ok ...thanks, but I believe that the string you posted me is incomplete... I know I have to put it around this, but is not enough clear for me elseif ($look == 'dropdown') { echo '<select onchange="doGTranslate(this);">'; echo '<option value="">Select Language</option>'; $i = 0; foreach($lang_array as $lang => $lang_name) { $show_this = 'show_'.str_replace('-', '', $lang); $flag_y = $flag_map_vertical[$lang]; if($$show_this) echo '<option value="'.$language.'|'.$lang.'" style="'.($lang == $language ? 'font-weight:bold;' : '').'background:url(\''.JURI::root(true).'/modules/mod_gtranslate/tmpl/lang/16l.png\') no-repeat scroll 0 -'.$flag_y.'px;padding-left:18px;">'.$lang_name.'</option>'; } echo '</select>'; }

Hi, I think I have wrote what you need to search and with what you need to replace it. It is pretty simple. Just use any editor which has a find and replace feature. Thanks!

done it thanks
