Partially sighted users – changing the font size
We have provided the facility to change the font size of the text used on our web pages. If you are using Internet Explorer, select 'View' from the menu bar, then 'Text Size' and select from 'Smallest' to 'Largest'. In Mozilla Firefox, select 'View' from the menu bar, then 'Text Size' and select from 'Increase' to 'Decrease'.
We have also provided a large font version of our share price charting tool.
Colour-blind users
We have checked the site font and background colour combinations for the different colour-blindness conditions and ensured that items are not referenced by colour alone. In addition, we have provided a version of our share price charting tool for colourblind users using colours that give adequate contrast. Should you wish to change the colour of text and background by introducing your own style sheet, please follow the instructions in changing the style sheet.
Keyboard-only users
The web pages on the site have been tested for use in keyboard-only operation. When using the forms or controls for the tools, the keys to use are as follows:- to select from dropdown boxes, use up and down arrow keys;
- To select/unselect a check box, use the space bar;
- To move forward between links, use the tab key;
- To move back between links, use the Shift + tab keys;
- To initiate an action button, use the Enter key when the action button is selected.
