Usability and Accessibility features of the RSC Eastern site

When using this site, you will find a number of features that will help you to find the information you are looking for:

Finding your place in the site

The navigation menus on the left and top of all pages shows each section of the site. If a section has more than one page you will find these links via the section index page. Breadcrumbs are used to assist you in finding your place within each section. We feel it is unnecessary to use Access Keys in view of the navigation design. In most cases, external links will open in a new browser window.

Returning to the home page

When you want to return to the home page, you can click on the Home Link (at the top of the navigation on every page).

Increasing the size of the text

If you prefer the font size on the web pages to be larger or smaller, you can control this using your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to change the size of the font displayed on the screen either permanently or temporarily. How you increase the font depends upon what browser you are using. Examples of how to increase or decrease fonts in several popular browsers follows:
Internet Explorer

Skipping the navigation

If you are using an audio browser and don't wish to have the navigation read out to you on any page, we have included a 'skip navigation' link as one of the first entries on the page. If you select this link you will be taken straight to the page heading, and then the page content.
