Accessibility

Eruantale.net strives to be accessible to all users. I have implemented several features to make browsing this website easier for people with disabilities or non-traditional web browsers.

Access Keys

All pages on this site define the following access keys:

  • Access key 1 – Home
  • Access key 2 – Jump to Content
  • Access key 3 – Sitemap
  • Access key 4 – Search
  • Access key 5 – Jump to Navigation
  • Access key 6 – Blog Archives
  • Access key 7 – Jump to the top of the current page
  • Access key 8 – N/A
  • Access key 9 – Contact
  • Access key 0 – Accessibility Statement

Here is how to use these access keys in different browsers:

  • Internet Explorer – press ALT + an access key. Then press ENTER.
  • Safari for Mac – press ALT + an access key.
  • Safari for Windows – press ALT + an access key.
  • Mozilla Firefox – press ALT + SHIFT + an access key.
  • Google Chrome – press ALT + an access key.
  • Opera – press SHIFT + ESC and Opera will display a list of access keys.

Other Features

Every page on this website:

  1. Validates as HTML 5 and uses valid CSS.
  2. Utilizes header tags such as h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, and h6 to give the page structure.
  3. Is searchable and has a search form located on the sidebar to the right.
  4. Defines the access keys mentioned above.
  5. Uses the title attribute to describe links in greater detail wherever possible.
  6. Uses the alt attribute to describe images for display in text browsers.
  7. Uses the acronym and abbr tags to define acronyms and abbreviations.
  8. Is sized relatively so that users can re-size the entire page if necessary.
  9. Is styled with CSS, but is still readable in browsers that do not support CSS.
  10. Was designed in such a way that text and graphics make sense without color.

Because this site is constantly being updated, it’s possible that I may occasionally introduce errors. If you notice that the above criteria are not all met on a page, please let me know so I can fix it. Thanks goes to Dive into Accessibility for helping me implement these changes.
