Accessibility and
Browser Notes for this Web site
This site has been designed using strict Web accessibility practices. All pages pass Section 508 and WCAG Priority 3 accessibility standards as verified by Watchfire's Bobby Program. However, we are sure problems remain, so if you find a page with an accessibility issue, please contact us so we can correct the problem and learn from the error.
The following notes pertain to accessibility and browser compatibility:
- No graphic images are used on this site so as to reduce problems with non-visual browsing.
- All formatting is handled in a linked style sheet. All pages validate to XHTML 1.0 Strict standards.
- No tables are used in this site; all column layout is specified using CSS2 positioning.
Because of reliance on CSS2 for presentation layout, some visual display problems may arise with older browsers (pre 6.0 versions). An equivalent text only version, validated to XHTML 1.0 Basic, is available that should be compatible with all internet appliances, including text-only browsers, non-visual browsers, and small information appliances like PDA's.
For obvious reasons, sites linked from teaching XML used their own accessibility standards.
