Accessibility

Good web design means cross-browser compatibility. Use these free browsers to test your pages.
  • Opera is one of the fastest browsers available.
  • WeMedia talking browser. Try this on your site to see how visually impaired people will hear the information.
  • Netscape and Internet Explorer are the most popular browsers. Don't forget to use more than just the latest version of each.
Good web design also requires information that can be accessed by all people. These are some great informational sites to help insure accessibility for all.

Accessible Forms

Example code for Form Labels http://www.evolt.org/article/Form_Labels/4090/15823/index.html
Form element labels aid usability by allowing users to click label text to select radio and checkbox elements. They are implemented using the <label for="elementID"> tag, in conjuction with the ID attribute of the <input> tag. Adding a style selector for labels lets you change the cursor (and other style accessible presentation characteristics) to indicate the clickable labels. This works in IE5+, and Moz0.9+. Older, non-compliant browsers will simply ignore the tag, making it fully backwards compatible.

The table of contents on this page has a link back to section 508 and also covers other topics of HTML including navigational links and application timeouts.
(*note* it appears these are instructional for the federal site compliance to the 16 requirements of Section 508. Each requirement section is stated with a summary and a link at: http://www.navfac.navy.mil/section508/default.htm I found the information clear and easy to follow.
