Accessibility
We have tried to make our site easy to use and open to everyone. Here we detail some of the built-in accessibility features and suggest a few tricks to help you get the most from the site:
How do I get around the site?
I find using a mouse difficult - is there something else I can use?
Try the arrow keys on your keyboard. The up and down arrow keys will help with scrolling. You can also jump to the top and bottom of the page using the page up and page down keys.
To move through the site, try using your tab key, followed by the return key.
What are accesskeys and how do I use them?
Accesskeys are shortcuts, keyboard characters specially programmed to help you navigate around a website. Our accesskeys are listed below. Hold down the "alt" key and type the required character to tell your browser where to go next. On an Apple computer, use the "control" plus accesskey combination.
The text is too small for me to read - how can I change it?
The easiest way to change text size is to check the size you need in the Readability Options.
You can also customise your browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Netscape Navigator or similar programme) to make the text larger. If you are using Internet Explorer, choose View then Text size and select Medium, Larger or Largest. Similarly in Netscape, choose View then Increase text size.
How can I find what I need on your site?
Search
Each page has a search box. Type a key word or phrase, e.g. challenge event, into the search box and click the "Go" button. A list of links to pages containing your search word will come up.
Site map
Our site map shows you a list of the site's main section pages. You can click directly to the pages that interest you.
How do I get back to your site if I leave it?
The address of our site is www.surreywebsight.org.uk
If you want to come back to this site at any time, type in the address in the browser address bar and press enter. To save you doing this more than once, add this page to your Favourites (in Internet Explorer click on Favourites >Add to favourites > and then name the page something that you will remember like SAVI website). If you are using Firefox or Netscape, go to Bookmarks; this works like Favourites.
My browser is out of date - how can I get a new one?
If you need the latest versions of these browsers, they can be downloaded free of charge from:
Internet Explorer: www.microsoft.com
Firefox: www.mozilla.com/firefox/
Many internet and computer magazines for sale in newsagents include giveaway CDs with copies of the latest browsers. This can be quicker and easier than downloading new browsers from the web, especially if you have a slow Internet connection.
Where can I learn more about using the Internet?
A great source of online tips and hints, especially for people new to the web, is the BBC's webwise site.
