ACCESS KEYS
This site does not use the access key attribute. Unfortunately, access keys often clash with keys set aside for use with other User Agents. (i.e. assistive technology). For this reason, we have decided to not set access keys.

IMAGES

  • Unless they are purely decorative items, all images used on this web site have suitable alt key attributes.
  • Content should be usable/accessible with images “off” (disabled).

LINKS

  • Some links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target.
  • Links are written to make sense out of context.
  • The first link in every document is a “Skip to Content”; it is to skip directly to what is considered the main section of the page (the content).
  • URLs are permanent whenever possible.

FORMS
This website makes use of online forms. When they are implemented they use these accessibility methods:

  • Form controls are appropriately and explicitly labeled.
  • Form validation routine does not rely on client-side script.
  • An alternate form of contact is always available: by phone, fax, or traditional mail.

SCRIPTS
Any client-side scripts used are non obtrusive.

VISUAL DESIGN

  • This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout.
  • This site uses only relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified “text size” option in visual browsers.
  • If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
  • Any information conveyed through the use of color is also available without color (i.e. text based).
