- Manual Evaluation
Test procedure
Using the Chrome web inspector (F12), the easiest way to test for this criterion is to open the Responsive design preview menu. (![]) Within that menu, set the dimensions to a width of 320px and a height of 256px.
After setting those dimensions, ensure the entire page only scrolls in one direction (either horizontally or vertically). Only certain elements that require a two-dimensional layout are allowed to scroll in two directions. Examples include data tables, maps, and diagrams.
