| The Ol' Hook & Eye is striving to make its content accessible to as many users as
possible. This is an ongoing process, changing the website to adhere to ever stricter
guidelines. |
To aid in navigation within the Ol' Hook & Eye, the following keyboard access keys
are enabled.
- Access Key 1 - Home Page
- Access Key 2 - Skip navigation
- Access Key 3 - Top of page (to access navigation)
- Access Key 4 - Search & Sitemap
- Access Key 6 - How to Use
- Access Key 8 - Privacy Policy
- Access Key 9 - Contact Webmaster
- Access Key 0 - Accessibility Statement (this page)
These "shortcut" keys are accessed differently depending upon the user's platform and
browser. In Microsoft Windows using Internet Explorer 5.5+, hold down the
"Alt" key and press the desired access key, then release and press "Enter" to jump to the
corresponding location. The same keys work in a Gecko based (Netscape 6.2+ or
Mozilla Firefox) browser, however there is no need to press the "Enter" key. Opera users
must hold down the "Shift" key and press the "Esc" key, then release and select the
access key. The key combination for most browsers working on the Apple system is to hold
down the "Cmd" key and press the relevant access key. |
| The Ol' Hook & Eye uses only relative font sizes that are compatible with the
user-specified "Text Size" menu option in browsers. |
| ALL images in this website have "alt" attributes. Content images have descriptive
attributes and purely decorative graphics have null attributes. All image links also
include "title" attributes. |
To the best of my knowledge this website satisfies all of level A conformance of the
W3C® Web
Accessibility Initiative priority checkpoints. The majority of level AA and
level AAA checkpoints have also been fulfilled. This is a judgment call since many
guidelines are vague and can not be tested automatically.

This site was lovingly hand-coded using a text editor. In order to have this
website more accessible, no frames were used and it is not required to have JavaScript
enabled. All pages were tested and most validate to XHTML
and CSS conformance to
W3C recommendations (see exceptions below).
An <embed> tag is required to play the video in all browsers on
The KV Caught on Film page and therefore will not
validate when a video is playing. Also, some of the search results from the
Search & Sitemap page may not validate since
the search engine outputs unencoded ampersands. These two are the
only known pages that will not conform to
XHTML standards.
