Various user groups such as users with visual, motor and cognitive impairments may require more time to complete a task that has a time limit on it. This can make it difficult for them to use the website.

However, there are some exceptions where time constraints are required. They are:

  • Real-time events such as online exams, auctions etc.
  • Booking tickets
  • The time limit is more than 20 hours.

NOTE:

  • New to accessibility or uncertain of requirements, it will be helpful to review all sections below.
  • Already familiar with requirements, skip to the “Working Example” section for sample HTML, CSS and JavaScript (when needed), along with a working demo.
