Navigating the Browser
Information in the Ideas Browser is organized into three frames. However, you do not need to have a frames enabled browser to access the information. The navigation frame at the left side of the browser is organized into a list of links with folder items that open and close when selected. When a folder is opened, a list of strategies related to providing access in the selected category is displayed below the selected item in the list and is rendered in the navigation frame. Clicking on the strategies in the lists below an open folder will display information in the main display frame. General information about the browser, notes and credits and help are available in the header frame, and strategies and ideas content, guidelines text and examples are displayed in the main display frame.
Accessibility
The Product Design Ideas Browser has been developed utilizing the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 to ensure the highest degree of accessibility and backward compatibility possible. Pages were developed and validated to the HTML 4.0 Transitional DTD. The Ideas Browser takes advantage of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) technology to enhance visual presentation. Because some of the positioning and page layout features used in CSS can be difficult to disable in some browsers and may cause problems for screen reader users or users who prefer to view pages using their own colors and or fonts, CSS can be disabled by turning off Javascript in the browser.
