Accessibility Statement

Text Size

This site uses only relative font sizes and therefore is compatible with the user-specified text size option in visual browsers.

The text size can be changed in Internet Explorer through the View » Text Size menu. And in Mozilla/Netscape, through the View » Text Zoom menu.

Alt text

All images that are used to illustrate content include the alt attribute to provide descriptive text alternatives.

Link Titles

A title attribute has been added to links which describe the link in greater detail. If the text of the link provides a clear explanation of the 'target' then the title attribute has not been used.

Javascript

The site does use some JavaScript but this does not affect accessibility.
