Access keys
Most browsers support jumping to specific links by typing keys defined on the web site. On Windows, you can press ALT + an access key; on Macintosh, you can press Control + an access key (depending on which browser you use). In some browsers, you may need to press ENTER to confirm your choice. Please note that recent releases of Mozilla Firefox have changed their access keys so that you now should hold down SHIFT + CTRL + Accesskey.
All pages on this site define the access keys noted below. NOTE: Some project pages that do not have the standard set of links or follow the standard page layout may not support the full set of accesskeys. This also applies to online user support guides that do not use the standard layout. Also, individual service interfaces may not use accesskeys, or may use a different set of keys, though we will be trying to standardise the keys used.

Links
Links are written to make sense out of context. Where the text of the link does not explain the purpose, the "Title" attribute has been added to explain
When a link leads away from the DesignPixel web site, a new browser window will open. This should be noted in the title of the link (see the above links on this page as an example).
Images
All content images used in this site include descriptive alt attributes. Purely decorative graphics include null alt attributes.
Visual design
This site uses css for layout, however some pages may contain tables to assist in layout Where used solely for layout purposes, table headers are not used, however the 'summary' attribute is still used to explain the contents of a table.
Style sheets are used to designate font size and colour, both in "ordinary" text and linked text, and background and other visual layout aspects of tables. If your browser or browsing device does not support style sheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
