Updated guide to link text and text areas

Link text is now easier to use

Why We Worked

  • Link text is a component and is difficult to use in a sentence
  • Inquiries from Digital Agency Website
    • The example text should be changed because the link color example in the color guide does not meet WCAG2.0 Level A (i.e., you should be able to see the content of the link without clicking the link).
    • Isn't it better to use relative space as the recommended size of the margin when arranging vertically?

Policy

  • Change link text from component to text style
  • Fix example of applying color guide + Add "Clarify the purpose of the link" to the guideline of the link text
  • In accordance with the new achievement criteria of " 2.5.8: Target Size (Minimum) " in "WCAG2.2," which is currently being formulated, the minimum target area has been changed to 24 with the absolute values unchanged. Since not only the web but also applications are targeted, the unit is not specified.

It provides a comparison between the link text before the change and the link text after the change. The changed part is surrounded by a red frame.

I created a guide for text areas with a character limit.

Why We Worked

  • Development of New Mynaportal We received an inquiry from the vendor about the matter that the character limit behavior of the text area is not determined.

Policy

  • Added guidelines for character limits
    • A character count counter is always displayed so that the character limit, the number of characters being entered, and the number of characters exceeding the limit can be specifically identified.
    • It is not recommended to include the number of characters only in the label or to automatically delete the number of characters if the number of characters exceeds the number of characters because it reduces the understandability of the error content.

It shows a comparison between the text area before the change and the text area after the change. The changed part is surrounded by a red frame.
