Accessibility statement

Links

• Many links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target.
• There are no “javascript:” pseudo-links. All links can be followed in any browser, even if scripting is turned off.
• Links to external sites open in new windows.
• 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 in this site include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics include null ALT attributes.
• Complex images include LONGDESC attributes or inline descriptions to explain the significance of each image to non-visual readers.

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.
• Effort has been taken to maintain high background-foreground contrast at all times.

Forms

• All forms follow a logical Tab sequence.
• Labels are associated with fields using HTML label tags.
