Site Overview

This site has been extensively tested with IBM's Home Page Reader, to insure that it is excessible to ADA Browsers, though this is no guarantee that it will be readable in other ADA Browsers, it gives indications that it should.

Creating a site that utilizes the standard navigation with rollover dropdown menus does not work very well with ADA Browser as most ADA Browsers do not read the content that is hidden, in this case the subnavigation items, to overcome this we created a second navigation expressly to be used by ADA Browser. Once a ADA Browsing is set up the standard rollover navigation is replaced with a more ADA compliant navigation.

You may hit "Alt+Z" to view what the layout looks like in ADA Browsing mode, please note you may have to hit enter on Internet Explorer. Also you may want to view the sample movies we have created to show IBM's Home Page Reader.
