Success Criterion 1.4.10
Conformance level AA

Carousel Slide Content Cut Off With No Way to Reach It

1.4.10 — Reflow

Scenario

Setting

A university's online course catalog

What’s wrong

Carousels whose slide content is cut with no alternative path to it.

Example

.layout { width: 1200px; }

Why it matters

Low-vision users at high zoom and people reading on narrow mobile viewports.

How to test

Set the viewport to 320px and check carousel/slider content: if slide content is cut off with no alternative way to reach the full content, it fails.

How to fix

At 320 CSS px width (400% zoom on a 1280px desktop), content must reflow into one column with only vertical scrolling and nothing missing or unreachable. .layout { max-width: 1200px; width: 100%; } Content must reflow into one column at 320px wide with no horizontal scrolling and nothing missing.

Outcome

On a university's online course catalog, this barrier is gone for low-vision users at high zoom and people reading on narrow mobile viewports — they can finish what they came here to do.
