Accessibility

Some browsers support jumping to specific links by typing keys defined on the Web site. In the Windows environment, you can press ALT + an access key followed by ENTER ; in the Macintosh environment, you can press Control + an access key.

 

The home page and all supporting pages define the following access keys:
Access key 1:  Go to the Home Page
Access key 2:  Skip to the Page Content
Access key 3:  Skip to the Main Navigation
Access key 4:  Skip to the Site Search

 

Access key A:  Go to the Accessibility Statement page (this page).
Access key C:  Go to the Contacts Page
Access key L:  Go to the Legal Informtion Page
Access key M:  Go to the Site Map
Access key P:  Go to the Privacy Policy Page

 

Access key B:  Disables the Flash menu and displays a basic HTML menu

Access key F:  Enables the Flash menu if it has previously been disabled


Links
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).

Whenever 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. To aid this, link text is never duplicated; two links with the same link text always point to the same address.

All links can be followed in any browser, even if scripting is turned off.
