Navigation Aids:

• All pages on this site use a consistent set of primary links to the main sections of the web site.
• The main navigation menu links through to the site map page which provides links to every area of the site (grouped according to category where appropriate).
• All pages contain a search box for easy searching of the site.
• Users of screen reader software, and browsers that don’t support cascading style sheets (CSS), will have access to an extra menu, located near the top of the page and title “Accessibility Menu: in-page navigation” which will permit them to jump to different sections of the page, skipping sections that they wish to bypass.

[ back ]

Text and Image Links:

• Many links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail, unless the text contained within the link already describes the target (such as the title or headline of an article).
  • Screen reader software can be set to read title attributes out loud, for example in JAWS: Utilities > Configuration Manager > Set Options > HTML Options > Text.
  • Users of graphical web browsers can hover their mouse over links to read the title text, if present.
• Where possible, links are written to make sense out of context, to allow easier navigation through the site when using screen readers and browsers (such as JAWS, Lynx and Opera) that are able to extract a list of links on a page for browsing separately to the page.
• Link text is never duplicated within the same page, so that two links with the same text will point to the same address.
• All links can be followed in any browser or screen reader, and there are no links that open new windows without warning.
• Image links make use of the title attribute to provide a guide to the link target

Section Headings:

• All sections of the Rex Judd web site contain appropriate headers which follow a logical hierarchy within each page. This makes it easier for users to quickly locate sections with the page and, where their browser or screen reader permits it, to navigate via these headings.
• Visitors using recent versions of screen readers can navigate using the following keystrokes:
  • H to cycle forwards through the headings.
  • Shift + H to cycle backwards through the headings.
  • 1 to navigate to the next level 1 heading (or a number between 1 and 6 to navigate to the next heading of that level).
  • Shift + 1 to navigate to the previous level 1 heading (or a number between 1 and 6 to navigate to the previous heading of that level).
  • Insert + F6 to provide a list of all headings on the page.
• Users of some browsers may also have similar functions available to them. For example, users of Opera can use the following keys to navigate through headings:
  • S to cycle forwards through the headings.
  • W to cycle backwards through the headings.

Keyboard Navigation:

• All links are usable with either the keyboard or a mouse.
• There are no javascript based links, and so there is no reliance upon users having a javascript enabled browser.
• There are no access keys (short cut keys) defined on this site as they are known to clash with those implemented within users’ existing software and operating system short cut keys (for example those used to access a browser menu).
• Although defining a set Tab order for each page is known to help some users we have refrained from using a defined order on this site (see the note on Tab indexes and keyboard navigation within the Barriers to Accessibility section below). Therefore this site will use the default, linear, Tab order through each page, which follows the following order based on the underlying structure of each page:
  1. Links in the headline section of the page, this includes the hidden “Accessibility Menu” links.
  2. Links and form controls in the central “main” content section of the page.
  3. Links and form controls in the main sidebar (located on the left hand side of the page in graphical browsers), this includes the main menu links and the main site search box.
  4. Links in the page footer section, including links to this accessibility statement, the terms and conditions and site privacy policy.

Content Images:

• All content images used on this site include descriptive Alt attributes. Alt attributes:
  • can be read out by screen readers.
  • are displayed in place of the images when images fail to display for any reason.
  • can be accessed by hovering the mouse over the image in some graphical browsers (for example Internet Explorer 6). Although this is incorrect, and non-standard, behaviour some people find it useful.
• Users of Mozilla browsers, such as Firefox, that wish to see the alternative text even when the image displays can download an extension which will allow them to view Alt attributes when hovering the mouse over images, in the same way as happens within Internet Explorer - for example Popup ALT Attribute will work with Firefox version 1.5 and below and Handy Xtra Stuff will work with Firefox version 2+.
• There are no decorative images contained within the content, instead these are separated into the external CSS, therefore there are no empty Alt attributes.

Text Size:

• This site uses relative units, for setting the size of text, which allows the size of text to be easily adjusted by visitors.
• The following table provides a guide on resizing text in some of the most common browsers:
  

  Text resizing features in some common browsers (2006)

  Browser	Menu Items	Windows Shortcut	Macintosh Shortcut
  Internet Explorer	View > Text Size > Largest	N/A	N/A

Text and Link Colours:

• We’ve endeavoured to ensure that there is sufficient contrast between the text (including link colours) and background colours used on this site and have tested them to ensure that they meet a baseline level.
• Users that need greater colour contrast can adjust their colour settings within their browser’s settings, below is a guide to doing this on some of the most common browsers:
  

  Text, link and background colour adjustment options in common browsers

  Browser	Menu Items (Windows)	Menu Items (Macintosh)

Abbreviations and Acronyms:

• Abbreviations and acronyms located in the main interface components of the site (such as the navigation menus located in the sidebars) have been coded to allow users to check their meanings.
  • Current versions of most screen readers should read out the expanded meaning of these abbreviations and acronyms, either by default or by adjusting a user setting. JAWS for Windows, for example, allows the expansion of abbreviations and acronyms when the “Expand Abbreviations” and “Expand Acronyms” check boxes are selected - these are located within the Configuration Manager under Utilities > Configuration Manager > Set Options > HTML Options > Text.
  • Users of most graphical browsers should be able to view an expanded version of these acronyms and abbreviations by moving their mouse over them. Abbreviations and acronyms that allow this will be identified by a dotted underlining in most browsers - including Firefox, Opera, Mozilla and Safari. This is also possible in Internet Explorer, however due to poor standards support this feature has required javascript to force the correct behaviour in some versions of this browser (version 6 and below), if you are using one of these versions you will need to enable javascript for this feature to work.
  • Firefox users can download a Glossary of Terms extension, from Juicy Studio, which will expand properly coded abbreviations and acronyms into a glossary of terms for easier use.
• Abbreviations and acronyms located within articles and user submitted content on this site may not be coded to allow for expansion as outlined above. Please see the note on abbreviations and acronyms in the barriers to accessibility section for clarification.

[ back ]

Forms and Form Controls

• Form controls (such as input boxes) have an associated label which identifies the purpose of the control.
• Users can click on the labels to focus the cursor on the associated form control.
• Any form control that doesn’t have a label, such as the submit buttons, has an Alt attribute, that can be accessed in the same way as Alt attributes associated with images, which will provide more information on the purpose of the control.
• Javascript has been used to correct a bug in Internet Explorer 6 and under which affects select (dropdown) lists within forms. Users of affected browsers are advised to enable javascript to allow this correction to work.

Visual Design:

• This site has been coded and designed to be accessible as possible, and uses cascading style sheets for the visual layout throughout.
• Users of browsers and devices that do not support style sheets will still be able to read and use the content of each page. There are some features, as outlined above, that will make this easier.
• Some users may wish to view this site with CSS turned off:
  • To disable style sheets in Firefox, go to: View > Page Style > No Style.
  • To disable style sheets in Opera go to: View > Style > User Mode
• If they have some knowledge of CSS, users may wish to create their own style sheet to use in place of the one used on this site.
  • To link to a user stylesheet in Opera go to: Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Style Options > Display > My style sheet
  • To link to a user style sheet in Internet Explorer go to: Tools > Internet Options > Accessibility > Format documents using my style sheet
  • There’s a comprehensive guide to using a user defined stylesheet in Firefox available at the Mozillazine Knowledge Base. An alternative to the standard method of creating a user style sheet for Firefox is to use the Stylish extension which provides an easy to use interface for customising style sheets, either for individual sites or for all sites.

Accessibility Barriers

• Rex Judd is a multi-author site with non-technical contributors who may not know or understand all of the requirements that must be met for a site to be, and remain, accessible to as wide an audience as possible. Therefore there may be instances where content is not presented in the most accessible way possible. On such occasions we would be grateful to receive feedback describing where we can improve the accessibility of this site, and correct errors that cause difficulty.
• The developers of this site have endeavoured to ensure that it is as accessible as possible to as wide an audience as possible, irrespective of ability. In order to help maintain the level accessibility the developers have provided the owners and authors with information on some aspects of HTML markup so that they can use the most appropriate markup for a given task. However, given that the authors are non-technical contributors there will be occasions when omissions occur. This has already been considered in part when describing the features available for expanding upon abbreviations and acronyms.
• As previously mentioned, this site doesn’t include either access keys or a Tab index. This was a conscious decision due to the prospect of their making the site less accessible, rather than more.
  • Author defined access keys have been demonstrated to clash with most existing software and operating system (OS) systems of providing keyboard shortcuts, whereby author defined keystroke combinations prevent keyboard shortcut access to features contained within the being software used, and in some cases other software that is running concurrently with the browser.
  • A predefined Tab order has been omitted due to the prospect of a confusing, illogical or irrelevant order being created - Rex Judd is a dynamic, database driven, web site that utilises a set of templates to specify the primary, and repeated, components of the site. If a Tab order was set on the template it would either mean that the order set would bypass any links found within the contributed content, making the order illogical and unhelpful, or it would require guesses to be made on where to stop, and restart, the order for the repeated content, and also require the contributors to both remember the markup required to set the order and remember to use it. Although less than ideal, we felt that the safest option was to leave this feature out.

Whilst the template system should remain standards compliant, we cannot guarantee that invalid code won’t appear within contributed content and would appreciate being informed of instances where invalid markup affects the usability and accessibility of this site.
• As mentioned previously, we have endeavoured to ensure that this site is as usable and accessible to as wide an audience as possible, as such we have aimed for a minimum conformance to Level Double-A of the WCAG 1.0. We have, however, tried to exceed this level of conformance wherever possible. Once again, if any error or omission has been made with regards to achieving the stated levels of accessibility, or if there are methods that can be used to further enhance the accessibility of this site, we would be grateful to hear them.
