OR

  2. Then "Internet Options"
  3. Select the "Advanced" tab
  4. Scroll down to "Multimedia" and ensure that "Play animations" and "Play videos" are turned off.

Notes: This can be useful for people who have epilepsy (even simple animations can cause unpleasant sensations or even worse); this can also be useful for people with a visual impairment. This can also be useful for any visitor to a web site who is using a (slow) dial-up modem connection.

Avoiding sounds
  1. Select the "Tools" menu from the top bar
  2. Then "Internet Options"
  3. Select the "Advanced" tab
  4. Scroll down to "Multimedia" and ensure that "Play sounds" is turned off.

Notes: This can be useful for people with a hearing impairment. It can also be useful for people with a visual impairment, or dyslexia, who are using a screen reader. This can also be useful for any visitor to a web site who is using a (slow) dial-up modem connection.

Using web pages without a mouse or pointing device
  1. Select the "Tools" menu from the top bar
  2. Then "Internet Options"
  3. Select the "Advanced" tab
  4. Choose "Accessibility" ensure that "Move system caret with focus/selection changes" is selected.

Notes: This may be useful to people with a visual impairment who are using a screen reader or screen magnifier, or people with dyslexia using a screen reader. It may also be useful for anyone with an impairment which makes using a mouse or pointing device difficult or impossible.

The "system caret" is used by some accessibility tools such as screen readers and screen magnifiers to determine which area of the screen to read or to magnify.

Users can move through web pages by using the TAB key to move from one hyperlink to another (if there is sensible text for the hyperlinks, this can provide a good summary of the contents of a web page, and allows the visually impaired to "speed read" web pages). Users can also move through the data entry areas in a web form with the TAB key. With the following option selected, screen readers or screen magnifiers will read or magnify the area tabbed to.

We have also implemented access keys which effectively allow the user to jump to a specific page within the web site by use of a keyboard shortcut. Shortcuts can be found below.

For Internet Explorer users the 'Alt' key and corresponding access key must be pressed simultaneously, followed by 'Enter'.

For Mozilla Firefox users the 'Alt + Shift' key and corresponding access key must be pressed simultaneously, followed by 'Enter'.
