Accessibility Help

This page will help you to access the information on this web site more easily. It contains information on how to adjust various browsers to display these pages with larger text and to help you navigate using the keyboard.

On all pages except the home page you can click on either the SDNF logo or the top banner if you want to return to the home page.

A small down-pointing triangle icon expand arrow indicates that there is some hidden text which you can reveal, by either hovering or clicking with the mouse, or changing ‘focus’, using an access key (or the tab key until it is highlighted) and then hitting ‘return’.

Text Size

Did you know that all modern browsers allow you to change text size. Most use the View Menu or alternatively keyboard Control and + or −.

Browser Text Sizing abilities

But using this method to alter text size may affect the layout adversely, However, both Opera and IE 7 have a (Page) Zoom facility which alters the image size well and maintains the page layout.
Also, Firefox (my preferred browser), Opera and Konqueror — the popular Linux browser, will allow you to choose from a list of pre–defined page styles, if the web designer has offered them. Besides the basic page style you would be able to choose, for example, ‘Large Text’ or ‘Xtra Large’. Pull down the View menu and select ‘Style’, ‘Page Style’ or ‘Use Stylesheet’ to see the options.

Changing Focus

Some browsers (Firefox, for example) utilize the Tab key to change focus to the next available link. Go backwards with Shift–Tab. To avoid having to Tab through all the Navigation links to get to a link in the page you may be able to use the ‘Access Key’ combination.

Keyboard Navigation

Using the Access Keys; On loading a fresh page on this web site using the access key ‘9’ will go to the foot of the page, ‘1’ will skip to the top of the page, ‘2’ will skip the main menu and, if available, Access key ‘r’ will take ‘focus’ to the down-arrow ‘reveal’ icon.
Use these key-combinations to use the 'access' keys.
