Web Accessibility - Priority 1

Web Accessibility: Priority 1

Web Accessibility: Text-only

Provide A Text-Only Version

If, after best efforts, you cannot create an accessible page, provide a link to an alternative page that uses WAI Resources, is accessible, has equivalent information (or functionality), and is updated as often as the inaccessible (original) page. This can be done by providing a prominent link that reads:

Text-only version

The html code looks like this:


            <a href="p1textonly.asp">Text-only version</a>

Use an alternative page only when necessary, as it is time consuming updating two sets of pages. Unless they are updated as regularly as the original pages, alternative pages become inaccessible.

When offering information in alternate formats, provide a hyperlink to a site for obtaining the necessary software.

For example:

Note: to read the PDF version you need Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0 (or later) on your system. If the Adobe download site is not accessible to you, you can download Acrobat Reader from the text-only page. Alternatively, you can have the file converted to HTML or ASCII text by using one of the access services provided by Adobe.
