Overview

The Alerts feature provides both a state-wide alerting system, as well as an opt-in site-wide alerting system, producing one or both on a website at the top of the page.

 

Requirements

  • Browser must meet the statewide minimum requirements
  • Access to statewide-links.js on CDN
  • List titled Site Wide Alert
  • Site-wide alert feature must be enabled, manually
  • Starter Template v4.5+

 

Accessibility

This web part passes both WCAG 2.0 and Section 508 website standards. Alert has the proper role of alert and aria-live role of polite. Links are well-formed. Colors pass contrast ratio requirements.

 

Features and Functionality

  • Additive approach based on alert message existence
  • Statewide alert is sticky, along with top nav bar
  • Alert can be suppressed for 24 hours by way of a close button
