• Keep the page “clean” and usable even when CSS is disabled: Some users disable a site’s CSS and impose their own stylesheet for easier viewing
• Example: On some pages, when CSS is disabled, a toggle navigation button appears; the toggle navigation was designed for mobile viewing but could be confusing on a web page
• Example: When CSS is disabled, image carousels tile images and loop the user back to the section of the page where the images are displayed on every image change
• An accessible stylesheet is available and can be applied to any site

Many widgets and plugins are not accessible

• Example: All Flickr widgets are inaccessible

Necessary to test each widget or plugin in a particular site: They can have behavior that spreads throughout a site

• Example: Countdown widgets’ behavior has to be displayed in a page to fully test for accessibility

ITS has a list of approved widgets and plugins, which have been tested for accessibility
