Business description

Criterion

6.1

Test

6.1.1

Description

Chaque lien texte vérifie-t-il une de ces conditions (hors cas particuliers) ?

Level

A

Technical description

Scope

Page

Decision level

Semi-Decidable

Algorithm

Selection

Set1

All the <a> tags with a "href" attribute, without children (a[href]:not(:has(*)))

Set2

All the elements of Set1 with a not empty text and without context (assuming the definition of a link context in Rgaa3.0)

Set3

All the elements of Set1 with a not empty text, with a context (assuming the definition of a link context in Rgaa3.0)

in other words :

size(Set1) = size(Set2) + size(Set3)

Process

Test1

For each element of Set2, we check whether the link content is not pertinent (see Notes about relevancy detection)

For each element returning true in Test1, raise a MessageA, raise a MessageB instead

Test2

For each element of Set3, we check whether the link content is not pertinent (see Notes about relevancy detection)

For each element returning true in Test2, raise a MessageC, raise a MessageD instead

MessageA : Unexplicit Link
MessageB : Check link without context pertinence
MessageC : Unexplicit Link With context
MessageD : Check link with context pertinence

Analysis

Not Applicable

The page has no textual link (Set1 is empty)

Failed

At least one textual link without context has a text content which is blacklisted or only composed of non-alphanumerical characters (Test1 returns false for at least one element)

Pre-qualified

In all other cases

Notes

We assume here that the links are only composed of a text. (<a href="https://asqatasun.org/target.html">my link</a>)

All the links that have children different from <img>, <canvas>, <object> or <svg> are considered as combined links.

Definition of not-pertinent link title :

A link title is seen as not-pertinent in the following cases :
