In addition to main navigation access key shortcuts, this site also contains the following accessibility aids:
- Each page has a 'skip navigation' link to take users directly to the main content, to avoiding repeating the main navigation. This link is hidden from sighted users.
- Navigation is repeated at the foot of each page.
- All form fields have access key shortcuts, as indicated by the underlined characters.
- All form fields use 'tabindex' to control the correct tabbing order from one field to the next.
- The pages use style sheets to control the design; when style sheets are not loaded, the page content is properly linear.
- All graphics have alternative text where appropriate and use the longdesc tag, where needed; a [D] link, next to those images which benefit from a long description, will take the visitor to the long description file (for those visitors whose browsers do not support the longdesc attribute). This link is hidden from sighted users.
- The site avoids those HTML elements which reduce accessibility, such as using forms for layouts or deprecated tags.
