Access keys
Most browsers support jumping to specific links by typing keys defined on the website. On Windows, you can press ALT + an access key; on Macintosh, you can press CTRL + an access key. The following access keys are defined throughout this website:
| Access key | Target |
|---|---|
| 1 | Home page |
| 2 | Skip to content |
| 9 | Contact me |
| 0 | Accessibility statement |
Markup and standards compliance
All pages on this website comply with most priority 1, 2, and 3 guidelines of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, as well as the US Federal Government Section 508 Guidelines. All pages validate as XHTML 1.0 Strict, and use structured semantic markup. Tables have properly scoped header cells where appropriate, to allow screen readers to render them intelligently.
Links
Many links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target. Whenever possible, links are written to make sense out of context. There are no links that open new windows without warning.
Visual design
Cascading style sheets are used for visual layout on screen and handheld devices (and also for printing and aural readers). Only relative font sizes are used, to be compatible with the user-specified "text size" option in visual browsers. If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
All content images used in this site include description attributes, to facilitate understanding even when images are disabled; the site appears similar even with non-content images disabled.
Most text contrasts sufficiently against its background to pass at level 3 of guideline 1.4 of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (draft), and the remainder passes at level 2.
