Accessibility

The LPOANJ is committed to making every possible effort to ensure that all information is accessible to people with disabilities, including both employees and customers we serve. If you experience any difficulty accessing the information on our web site, please email .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this e-mail address). We will try to assist you as best we can. This may include providing the information to you in an alternate format.

Standards compliance

All our pages conform to Level A compliance as specified by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, and endorsed by the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the majority of Level AA and AAA requirements are also met.

All pages validate as XHTML 1.0 Strict, and use structured semantic markup.

Our CSS also validates.

All pages complies with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (amended by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998).

Tab index

We have attempted to create a logical tab sequence throughout our pages to allow for easier navigation.

Structured, semantic markup

We have used structured, semantic markup on all our pages, using header tags, list items for navigation menus, address tags, etc.

Graphics, pictures and images

Where we have used graphics, pictures and images, we have included text descriptions (’Alt-Tags’), to comply with internationally recognised Web accessibility guidelines. All graphical navigation buttons are similarly ‘Alt-tagged’. Where graphical images are just for decoration they have NULL alt text (alt=””).

Frames

We have not used frames throughout this site.

Scripting

The site is fully accessible if scripting is unavailable.

Macromedia Flash

Where we have used Flash, we have also included a non-Flash alternative.
