Standards compliance

  1. Most pages validate as XHTML 1.0 Transitional and our Cascading Style Sheets validate as CSS2.
  2. The pages comply with all guidelines of the W3 Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.
  3. We make an attempt to label tables with captions and summaries to allow screen readers to render the table intelligently.

Navigation aids

  1. The main content is after the navigation links in the source code. Therefore we created a "skip to navigation links" link (access key 0) to skip to the main content. This link is visible to screenreaders and to sighted users that tab through the web site.
  2. All pages have home and copyright links to aid navigation in text-only browsers and screen readers.
  3. We make an attempt to label tables with captions and summaries to allow screen readers to render the table intelligently.
  4. All pages include a search box .

Links

  1. Whenever possible, links are written in a manner that will make sense when read 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.
  2. There are no "javascript:" pseudo-links. All links can be followed in any browser, even if scripting is turned off.
  3. There are no links that open new windows without warning.
  4. Many links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target (such as the headline of an article).

Images

All content images used include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics include null ALT attributes.


Visual design

  1. This site uses cascading style sheets and div tags for visual layout. Even if your browser or browsing device does not support style sheets, the content of each page should still be readable.
  2. This site uses percentage font sizes, compatible with the user-specified "text size" option in visual browsers.
