3.3 Success Criterion 1.4.10 – Reflow

When a webpage is zoomed, the content is presented without loss of information and functionality, and without requiring horizontal scrolling.

 

Before Rectification

A webpage sample with content exceeding the width of the browser such that user has to scroll both horizontally and vertically to view the whole content.

When users zoom in to enlarge the size of the content, they have to scroll both horizontally and vertically to view the content.

 

After Rectification

A webpage sample with content not exceeding the width of the browser such that user only needs to scroll vertically to view the whole content.

By using responsive web design, the page layout is changed automatically when it is zoomed, so that horizontal scrolling is not required.
