Accessibility Statement

This is the official accessibility statement for Rocky Mountain Harley-Davidson, and has been based, in large part, upon the accessibility statement found at Dive Into Accessibility, a leading web site devoted to increasing awareness of accessibility-oriented web design practices. If you have any questions or comments regarding this statement, please contact the webmaster.

Standards Compliance

  1. All pages on this site, with a few exceptions, are WCAG A approved, complying wih all priority 1 guidelines of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. This is a judgement call; many guidelines are intentionally vague and can not be tested automatically. We have reviewed all the guidelines and believe that all these pages, with a few exceptions, are in compliance.
  2. All pages on this site, with a few exceptions, are Section 508 approved, complying with all of the U.S. Federal Government Section 508 Guidelines. There is no methodolgy to determine this, so a judgement call must be made. We have reviewed all the guidelines and believe that all pages on this site, with a few exceptions, are in compliance.
  3. All pages on this site validate as XHTML 1.0 Strict. This is not a judgement call; a program can determine with 100% accuracy whether a page is valid XHTML.
  4. All pages on this site use structured semantic markup. H2 tags are used for main titles, H3 tags for subtitles. For example, on this page, JAWS users can skip to the next section within the accessibility statement by pressing ALT+INSERT+3.

Standards Non-Compliance

The following pages are the only pages on this site believed not to meet WCAG and U.S. Federal Government Section 508 Guidelines.

  1. Scrapbook: The 2002 Ladies Night Sale
  2. Scrapbook: The 17th Annual Children's Hospital Toy Run
  3. Scrapbook: The RMHD 100th Anniversary Party
  4. Scrapbook: The 2003 Customer Appreciation Party

These pages either incorporate "legacy" material … that is, material that was created before any attempt was being made to meet accessibility guidelines … or the task of making these pages accessible is too overwhelming at the present time. As such, certain features of these pages do not meet accessibility guidelines. These features include:

  • Image ALT text does not present an accurate description of what is taking place in the image.
  • Video clips lack captioning.

If you require any of the aforementioned pages to be made accessible, please contact the webmaster.

Navigation Aids

  1. All pages have home, contents, search, and glossary links to aid navigation in text-only browsers. Netscape 6 and Mozilla users can also take advantage of this feature by selecting the View menu, Show/Hide, Site Navigation Bar, Show Only As Needed (or Show Always). Opera 7+ users can take advantage of this feature by selecting the View menu, Navigation Bar, Auto (or one of the other options).
  2. The home page and all archive pages include a search box. Advanced search options are available at the advanced search page.

Abbreviations, Acronyms, and Contextual Help

  1. All abbreviations and acronyms have structurally been marked up as such, and each has been given the proper TITLE attribute explaning what the abbreviation or acronym means.
  2. All terms which may be confusing or unfamiliar to the common reader (this is a judgement call) have been marked up with a TITLE attribute explaning what the word or words mean.
  3. In browsers which properly support visual stylesheets, all abbreviations, acronyms, and contextual help terms will be designated with a dotted or dashed underline beneath the specified terms.
  4. In most visual browsers, moving the mouse over an abbreviation, acronym, or contextual help item will cause a "tool tip" to appear above the term; this tool tip contains the meaning of the term in question.

Links

  1. Many links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target (such as the headline of an article).
  2. Links are written to make sense out of context.

Images

  1. All content images used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics include null ALT attributes.

Visual Design

  1. This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout.
  2. This site uses only relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified "text size" option in visual browsers.
  3. If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
  4. In browsers which properly support visual stylesheets, the look of this site and the font sizes used on this site can be altered according to user preference by clicking on the boxes located in the top left corner of each page. Note: Javascript and Cookies must be enabled for these changes to take place and to be saved from page to page.
