About this Site

Accessibility

The Morris County Cooperative Pricing Council (MCCPC) web site has been designed to be fully accessible to all users regardless of technological or physical disability. This section outlines the specific features and initiatives which have been implemented to facilitate access.

Skip Link

A “Skip to main content” link is available at the top of every web page. This allows users with mobility impairments and those who use screen reader software to go directly to the main content of a web page without having to deal with repetitive navigation links.

The “Skip to main content” link is hidden from visual browsers and is accessed through the keyboard. Upon landing on a web page, use your keyboard and press the TAB key. This should make the previously hidden “Skip to main content” link appear across the top of the browser window. Users of Explorer may need to tab several times before the link becomes visible. Once the link is visible, simply hit your ENTER key to activate the link. The skip link is also available via access key “s,” as explained in the next section.

Unfortunately, skip links currently do not work correctly in the latest versions of Safari, Google Chrome and Opera. These browsers will allow you to skip to the main content area as intended however, once there, hitting your TAB key again will return you to the top of the page.

Access Keys

Access keys are quick keyboard shortcuts that can be used to navigate the web site in browsers that support their implementation. To use an access key, invoke the key combination specific to the browser you are using, as represented below.

Standards-Compliant Design

This web site has been built using valid XHTML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) in accordance with the standards created by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the governing body for the web that sets standards for technical development. These standards, known as Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), set forth the requirements for making web site content accessible.

Accessibility isn’t just about making sure blind people can use this site. It’s about removing barriers and making a web site usable to a wide range of people. This includes, for example, someone with arthritis or multiple sclerosis who has difficulty using a mouse, an older user with low vision, a site visitor with dyslexia, as well as those who use assistive technologies to access the Internet.

Standards-compliant design may not sound sexy but because web standards incorporate and support accessibility, a standards-compliant web site ensures that everyone has equal access to the same information—a basic tenet of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). In the public sector, it is incumbent upon agencies to provide visitors with an accessible web site.

Although not required by regulation or law, this web site complies with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (amended by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998). How come? Because accessibility is simply the right thing to do…and we do it because we can.

If you experience accessibility issues and need assistance or if you use assistive technology and the format of any content on this web site interferes with your ability to access the information, please contact the developer at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this e-mail address). We will get you the information you are seeking in a format that is accessible and we’ll work to make the web content you found problematic accessible going forward.
