Accessibility

We are committed to making the IMODIUM® website accessible to everyone and have taken the following steps to ensure this is the case:

Text Size

The site has been coded to allow you to resize the text to suit your preference. You can do this using your browsers' standard text control options which vary between browsers but are typically found in the 'View' menu, sometimes in a sub-menu titled 'Text size' or 'Text zoom'.

Skip navigation link

A link at the start of every page allows you to skip the navigation and jump directly to the main content of the page.

Headers

Our pages use structured headers to aid legibility. The first header on the page is the main content header followed by any sub-headers, then by headers for key navigational elements of the page. This aids users of certain screenreaders and speech browsers - for instance: JAWS users can type INSERT+F6 to hear all the headers on the page, or CTRL+INSERT+ENTER to quickly navigate through the page by skipping to the next header.

Tables

We restrict the use of tables to the display of tabular data. For users of screenreaders and speech browsers we associate headers with their respective rows and columns to clarify how the information is to be interpreted.

Forms

Forms have labels which are explicitly associated with their controls, aiding users of certain screenreaders and speech browsers. We also use Fieldsets and Legends for maximum clarity.

Additional Information

All images have alt and title attributes to explain what is being displayed to users of non-visual browsers. Hyperlinks also have a title attribute to inform the user of what the link destination is.

Standards Compliance

The site is coded to conform to the W3C Web Content Accessibility guidelines and the US Federal Government Section 508 Guidelines. Mark-up will validate as compliant XHTML 1.1 and CSS 1.0
