Accessibility Browser Options
Access to this site can be enhanced via several options by
adjusting the browser settings to suit your requirements and
provide greater accessibility.
Adjusting the Text Size
The text size used throughout the site is easily increased or
decreased using your browser. A couple of examples of how to do
this are listed below:
Changing your text size in Microsoft Internet
Explorer:
- Select Text Size from the View menu
- Select from the list of predefined text sizes ranging from
Largest to Smallest.
Changing your text size in Firefox:
- Select Text Size from the View menu.
- Select Increase Font or Decrease Font to
adjust the font size accordingly.
Zoom In on a Webpage
Internet Explorer Zoom lets you enlarge or reduce the size of a
webpage. Unlike changing font size, zoom enlarges or reduces
everything on the page, including text and images. You can zoom
from 10% to 1000%.
To zoom a webpage:
On the bottom right of the Internet Explorer window, click the
arrow to the right of the Change Zoom Level button.
Do one of the following:
- To go to a predefined zoom level, click the percentage of
enlargement or reduction you want.
- To specify a custom level, click Custom.... In the
Percentage zoom box, type a zoom value, and then click
OK.
- If you have a mouse with a wheel, hold down the CTRL key, and
then scroll the wheel to zoom in or out.
- From the keyboard you can increase or decrease the zoom value
in 10% increments. To zoom in, press CTRL+PLUS SIGN. To zoom out,
press CTRL+MINUS SIGN. To restore the zoom to 100%, press
CTRL+0.
Difficulty Using a Mouse
Most websites can be used without a traditional mouse. Links can
be selected and clicked using the keyboard.
If you find it difficult to use a mouse to navigate around the
page, you can follow these steps as a substitute to using your
mouse:
- Click on the TAB key on your keyboard. This will move your
cursor to each of the navigation options / links on the
screen.
- When you have found the link you want, press ENTER on your
keyboard.
- You can also use the 'Page Up' and 'Page Down' keys on your
keyboard to move the page to the area you want to read.
Changing Colours
Changing the site's background colour can be particularly useful
for users who rely on magnification technology, as white can
produce an uncomfortable glare. It is also possible to change the
colour of body text on the site.
Both can be achieved by changing preferences in your
browser:
If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer, go to the Tools
menu, select Internet Options, select Colours and
make changes to text and background colours in the Colours panel.
You may need to select the Accessibility option first and
tick the box options to enable colours to be changed.
For users of Firefox, go to the Tools menu, select
Options, open Fonts and Colours. You can make
changes to Fonts and background colours and link colours.
