Links

• There are no “javascript:” pseudo-links. All links can be followed in any browser, even if scripting is turned off.

Access Keys

Most browsers support jumping to specific links by typing keys defined on the web site. On Windows, you can press ALT + an access key; on Macintosh, you can press Control + an access key.

All pages on this site define the following access keys:

• Access key 0 - Accessibility Statement
• Access key 1 - Home page
• Access key 2 - Skip Navigation, go directly to content. This can be useful if you are using a screen reader like Jaws.
• Access key 3 - contact Doug Ransom

Visual Design

This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout. If you find the text size too small, most browsers have a text size option in a view menu. You can use that to enlarge the text.

If your browser does not support style sheets, the content of each page is still readable.

Content should be readable in Plucker, PocketIE, Blackberry Internet Browser, and other browsers.
