Web standards respectful

• Each page was validated on XHTML 1.0 Strict
• Each page was tested with Home Page Reader 3.0 (IBM® Accessibility Tool).
• Each page respects a semantic structure. H1 tags are used for main titles, H2 tags are used for sub-titles. For exemple, on this page, JAWS software users can access the next section by keys combination : ALT+INSERT+3

Navigation helpers

• Each page has navigation items and are related to others.
  

  			
  <link rel="home" title="home" href="home" />
  <link rel="search" title="search" href="search" />
  <link rel="help" title="Linea21 accessibility charter" href="accessibility" />
  			
  		

• All pages include a search field (access key 4).

Links

• Most of the links have a "title" attribute given a description of the current link
• Links are written to keep a semantic value even beyond the context.
• Scripts langages are used to enhance navigation confort, but they can be disabled without reducing accessibility of the content.

Images

• All ornamental images are CSS included.
• Images as content have descriptive tag Alt.
