Accessibility Features
This site has been created with special accessibility features that allow it to be used by a wide audience. Some special features to note are:
- Alternate text has been used for all images. This feature is used for text-to-speech browsers and all-text browsers.
- All links leading to pages outside of this website will open in a new browser window. The attributes of these windows can be controlled by the user.
- Descriptive hyperlinks and title tags have been used for each link.
- "Skip to Content" and "Skip to Navigation" links have been added to the top of every document to allow users of text-to-speech browsers easy navigation.
- Font sizes can be adjusted larger or smaller using browser and keyboard controls.
- Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) have been used to control much of the site's layout.
- All page content is provided in a logical order from header to content to footer.
This site does not make use of the accesskey attribute for a wide variety of reasons, primarily related to conflicts between accesskey assignments and the keyboard navigation designed into assistive technology and standard browsers.
