H25.1 Missing Head Element Title Fail Example

Documents should be properly titled as per Success Criterion 2.4.2 (Page Titled). This test handles a situation where not only is there no page title, but there is not even a head section to place it into.

Note: the expected error is "No head element", but the more likely response will be "No title element". This is because the parsed DOM will likely insert an empty head section in lieu of it being missing, therefore making the head element exist.

Expected Errors

• [Standard].Principle2.Guideline2_4.2_4_2.H25.1.NoTitleEl: "A title should be provided for the document, using a non-empty title element in the head section."
