Examples of disabilities impacting user interaction on the web include vision loss, hearing loss, limited manual dexterity, and cognitive disabilities. Each disability requires different means by which to effectively access information on the web.</p> <p>The STO is taking steps to conform with California Government Code section 7405, which requires that all state agencies comply with Section 508 of the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended (29 U.S.C. Sec. 794d), and regulations implementing that act as set forth in Part 1194 of Title 36 of the Federal Code of Regulations. The STO is also working to meet with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 AA success criteria as directed by the amended Section 508 laws and regulations.</p> <p>If you require assistance accessing information on this site, please <a href="webcomments.asp">contact us</a>. To enable us to respond in a manner most helpful to you, please let us know the nature of your accessibility problem, the preferred format in which to receive the material, the web address of the requested material, and your contact information.</p> <h2>Contrast</h2> <p>High contrast is necessary for many users. The STO websites use style sheets and some of the best contrast combinations, black on white or blue on white. However, some users can see better using high contrast reverse types, such as white on black, or different colors. Below are guidelines for some common web browsers on how the user can customize their own web browser to better view all web pages.</p> <div class="drop-down-container"> <hr class="line-1"> <button class="accordion"> <p class="browser">Firefox</p> </button> <div class="panel"> <p>To adjust the contrast for Firefox:</p> <ul> <li>Select the <strong>Tools</strong> menu.</li> <li>Select <strong>Options</strong>.</li> <li>Select the <strong>Content</strong> tab.</li> <li>Select <strong>Colors</strong></li> <li>Select colors desired for <strong>Text, Background, Unvisited Links</strong>, and <strong>Visited Links</strong> (example: white text and black background) and uncheck <strong>Allow</strong> pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above.</li> <li>Select the <strong>OK</strong> box, and then the <strong>OK</strong> box again.
