WCAG 2.0 AA Compliance

Section 3.1.1

The default human language of each Web page can be programmatically determined.


This is a very simple section. Since McMaster uses English as our primary language, you must ensure that your XHTML webpage uses the following header and HTML tag format:


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

This will allow your page to be recognized as written in the English language by default.
