The “Inappropriate Container Measurements Check” evaluates whether there is any usage of absolute measurement units in CSS styles that define the width of content boxes.
Example outcome
I identified 1 instance in the CSS where an absolute measurement unit is used to define the width of content boxes.
Impact
Visual Impairments: Zooming can cause overflow, truncation, or unreadable layouts.
Cognitive Disabilities: Poor layout scaling can introduce distractions or cause confusion.
Elderly: Elder people often rely on increased zoom and may struggle with layouts that don’t scale.
Mobile: Fixed widths break responsive design, which impairs usability for mobile users.
Fixes
To address inappropriate content boxes width defined using absolute units:
Locate the inappropriate CSS.
Replace the absolute measurement unit with a relative one.
