Diagnoses
Here is how rule engines diagnose the horizontal text spacing frozen
issue for HTML element 577 of the Fair Vote page.
- Inline text spacing must be adjustable with custom stylesheets; letter-spacing in the style attribute must not use !important, or be at 0.12em (current 0.05em)
Rule engine: Axe (Deque)
Rule:
avoid-inline-spacing - CSS !important should not be used in inline ‘letter-spacing’ style
Rule engine: Accessibility Checker (IBM)
Rule:
text_spacing_valid - [failed] CSS styles prevent the letter-spacing to be above the minimum value.
Rule engine: QualWeb (University of Lisbon)
Rule:
QW-ACT-R67 - This element's inline style forces line-height, letter-spacing with !important, blocking user text-spacing overrides.
Rule engine: SureA11y (Jorge Rumoroso)
Rule:
avoid-inline-spacing
