Skip To Links
This site includes a Skip To Link that will take you directly to the main navigation when viewing the site without styles loaded.
Standards Compliance
1. This site is WCAG AAA approved, complying with all priority 1, 2, and 3 guidelines of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. This is always a judgement call; many accessibility features can be measured, but many can not; many guidelines are intentionally vague and can not be tested automatically. We have reviewed all the guidelines and believe that all these pages are in compliance at the time of the launch of this website.
2. All pages on this site comply with the U.S. Federal Government Section 508 Guidelines. Again, a judgement call. We have reviewed all the guidelines and believe that all these pages are in compliance.
3. All pages on this site should validate as HTML. However, this can be affected by the use of third-party plugins.
4. All pages on this site use structured semantic markup. H2 tags are used for main titles, H3 tags for subtitles. For example, on this page, JAWS users can skip to the next section within the accessibility statement by pressing ALT+INSERT+3.
Links
1. 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).
2. Links are written to make sense out of context.
Images
1. All content images used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics include null ALT attributes.
2. Complex images may include LONGDESC attributes or inline descriptions to explain the significance of each image to non-visual readers.
Visual design
1. This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout.
2. If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
Text Resizing
This site uses only relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified “text size” option in visual browsers. See the text resizing instructions for the browser you use:
