Standards compliance

1. All pages on this site are WAI A approved , complying with all priority 1 guidelines of the W3 Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.This is always a judgement call; many accessibility features can be measured, but many can not. We have reviewed all the guidelines and believe that all these pages are in compliance.
2. All pages on this site validate as HTML Transitional . This is not a judgement call; a program can determine with 100% accuracy whether a page is valid HTML.
3. All pages on this site use structured semantic markup. H2 tags are used for main titles, H3 tags for subtitles.

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. Whever 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.
3. Link text is never duplicated; two links with the same link text always point to the same address.
4. There are no " javascript: " pseudo-links. All links can be followed in any browser, even if scripting is turned off.
5. There are no links that open new windows without warning.

Images

1. All content images used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics include null ALT attributes.
2. Complex images include LONGDESC attributes or inline descriptions to explain the significance of each image to non-visual readers.

Visual design

Cascading style sheets are used for visual layout.

1. Internet Explorer has a limited text resizing feature ("View" menu, "Text Size"), but it only works with relative font sizes. A special stylesheet that uses relative font sizes is automatically served to visitors using Internet Explorer.
2. If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
