Accessibility validation

Validate with WAVE

WAVE is a free web accessibility evaluation tool, which checks for compliance issues with many of the Section 508 and WCAG guidelines. Have in mind that only humans can determine whether a web page is accessible - the above validation link is provided for the sake of completeness.


  • The interface of RadButton for ASP.NET AJAX is level A accessible (in compliance with the W3C Web Accessibility Guidelines 2.0) as well as Section 508 compliant.

    RadButton passes the check of the WAVE automated content compliance tool for Section 508 and WCAG 2.0 - Compliance Level A.

    The control is also visible in Windows High Contrast mode when rendered with Simple skin.

    Keyboard support: Press "Alt + AccessKey in IE" ("Shift + Alt + AccessKey" for Firefox, Shift + Esc + AccessKey for Opera) or use Tab to move to and focus the Button control.
    Note: By default tab-access is disabled in Safari. To enable it, check "Preferences > Advanced > Press tab to highlight each item on a page".
