Hey

I have a website where I need to create an Accessibility function, so that people with poor sight can increase the size of text on the website.

 

Is it possible to do this with the Accessibility Module in Dynamicweb? and if it is, how is this done?

I have implemented an alternative stylesheet where all text sizes are 2 sizes bigger, but I haven't been able to find anyway of activating / deactivating the alternative stylesheet.

 

Thanks in Advance

Henrik

Hi Henrik

You can add &accessibility=true and &accessibility=false to enable and disable the feature. When enabled, the alternative stylesheet will be used in stead of the original.

Hey

Where exactly do I have to add this? When you click a "button"?

Some where in i.e. you page template you make a link to the page:

Default.aspx?ID=<!--@Global:Page.ID-->&accessibility=true

Can it be done without the accesibility moduler like on this page:

No, this extra option is only available in the stylesheet when to module is installed.

Hi Per

The solution on arresoedal.dk is javascript based. That can be done without the accesibility module. But that implementation may not be what you want. If you want to give users the ability to resize the font - its ok.

But the main idea with an accesibility version of the website holds a lot more things than just a bigger font. It is about making the website readable for a screenreader. That requires some things from the html itself.

That can be done by implementing the website using these techniques and have it look decent with CSS, or by implementing an alternative pagetemplate/navigation structure using accesibility module.

Thanks a bunch for the clarification about the implementation.

It took me 5 min to get it up and running!
