Web Accessibility Statement
U.S. Code Section 508
This site is compliant with the U.S. Government's Section 508 guidelines. Some aspects of these guidelines require judgement calls. If anything has been missed, please notify the Project Administrator so that the oversight may be corrected.
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0
This site is compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0. Once again, some of this requires judgement calls. Please contact us about any issues that may have been overlooked.
Access Keys
Access keys have been provided as an aid to navigation. They are:
- access key 1: Ask Why KY home page
- access key 2: Skip to Navigation
- access key 3: Ask via email form
- access key 0: Accessibility statement
With Internet Explorer 5+, alt+access key and enter will execute the link. With Netscape 6.2+, alt+access key is enough. On a Mac, substitute control for alt.
Structured Semantic Markup
This site uses structured semantic markup. All tags provide information about the content. This allows various devices to access these pages in a meaningful way and, for example, on this page, JAWS users can skip to the next section by pressing alt+insert+3.
Fonts
All fonts have been relatively sized to allow browsers lacking the "text-zoom" function the ability to resize fonts.
Graphics
The use of graphics has been minimized and no graphics are used to create roll-over menus. Alt attributes are always used on all graphics.
Valid XHTML 1.1
XHTML has been used for maximum interoperability and no presentational tags have been used to optimize bandwidth usage. All pages have been validated to ensure error-free pages that work with various alternative browsing devices.
Valid CSS2
All style and layout commands are contained in validated CSS files.
Contact
Please contact the Project Administrator if there are any problems.
