    JavaScript: https://cms.ku.dk/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js

  • jQuery is not included by default. Make sure to add jQuery version 3.1.0 minified before bootstrap.min.js.
  • HTML must be valid html5 and well-formed.
  • Accessibility: Solutions are to apply and observe the rules of accessibility provided by WCAG 2.1 level AA. it is allowed to use WAI-ARIA.
