Structure Access Keys Criterion

Separate structure from presentation according to your declared doctype.

• Ideally, use HTML markup on pages to structure a page and use CSS to design the look.
• This also means you should use other elements such as tables for their intended purposes.
• Mark up tables correctly and use them only to present data. Employ divs for page structure.
• If you are using a transitional DTD or HTML 4.0, some presentational elements are allowed, however, so long as they are kept to a minimum and render correctly to screen readers and in text browsers. You should still avoid deprecated markup though.
• Points -
  • Three if using style sheets entirely, tables only for data.
  • Two points if the page linearises.
  • One point if you use tables correctly depending on their purpose.
• Criterion weighting of three.
