Standards compliance
The
pages on this site aim for Section 508 approval, and compliance with
all guidelines of the U.S. Federal Government Section 508 Guidelines.
These pages use structured semantic markup. For example, on pages with
multiple sections of content, H2 tags are used for each section, H3
tags for subsections, et cetera. JAWS users can skip ahead by using
ALT+INSERT+2, or ALT+INSERT+3.
Navigation Aids
All
pages on this site include a consistent set of global navigation links.
All pages have a “breadcrumb” trail of links leading up to the home
page. All pages on this site include a search box.
Links
Wherever
possible, links are written to make sense out of context. Many browsers
(such as JAWS, Home Page Reader, Lynx, and Opera) can extract the list
of links on a page and allow the user to browse the list, separately
from the page.
Images
All content images used on this
site include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics
include empty ALT attributes.
Visual Design
This site
and all its archives use cascading style sheets for visual layout. If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets
at all, the content of each age is still readable.
