Standards Compliance

All static pages validate as XHTML. The IHU Repository is based on DSpace which is also committed to supporting standards compliance. All static pages on this site use structured semantic markup. H1 tags are used for main titles, H2 and H3 tags for subtitles. P tags are used for text.

Structural Markup

Web pages on IHU Repository include 4 different areas:

1. A header bar that includes the main navigation,
2. A main content area,
3. A side bar,
4. A footer.

When CSS (Cascading Styles Sheet) are not applied to a document (or when using a screen reader), the 4 areas are read in the above order.

Images

Unless they are purely decorative items, all images used on this web site have suitable alt attributes. Content should be usable/accessible with images "off" (disabled).

Links

Many links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target. Links are written to make sense out of context. URLs are permanent whenever possible.

Forms

All form controls are appropriately and explicitly labeled.

Pop up Windows

In visual browsers, the title attribute of links to external resources says "opens in new window".

Browsers with Popup Blockers should be able to access these external documents.

Visual design

This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout.

Any information conveyed through the use of color is also available without color (i.e. text based).
