Web Standard: On this Page/ Table of Contents
Definition
On This Page is a table of contents, or a list of links, at the top of the page that shows the information that can be found further down the page.
Content Requirement
- Use a table of contents on pages with more than one main section that are more than two screenfuls long:
- Write a short blurb for the page (one sentence may be sufficient) unless the information presented on the page is completely intuitive.
- After the introduction, create a bulleted table of contents with links to each heading. If the page presents questions and answers, the links will be to the questions.
- Capitalize only the first word of the anchored links.
- A horizontal rule is added after the table of contents.
