4 Developing Accessible Apps

This section provides guidelines for creating an accessible app with Oracle APEX.

• Developing Accessible Themes
  Themes are collections of templates that enable you to define the layout and style of an entire application. Oracle APEX apps use Universal Theme by default.
• Developing Accessible Pages
  Enable easy navigation of your app for users of assistive technology by properly configuring some common attributes of all your pages, such as the title, page mode, cursor focus, and reload on submit.
• Developing Accessible Regions
  Ensure the regions on a page provide sufficient navigational information for users of assistive technology.
• Developing Accessible Form Pages and Items
  Ensure that your form pages and items provide sufficient information to users of assistive technology.
• Developing Accessible Buttons
  Buttons in Universal Theme offer great display flexibility while supporting accessibility.
• Testing Apps for Accessibility
  APEX includes a built-in tool called the Advisor, which developers can run as part of quality assurance of an application.
