Please note: Guidelines not listed include those that are not applicable to this site because they refer to features such as frames and data tables, which we do not use.
2.2 The foreground and background color combinations on each page provide sufficient contrast when viewed by someone having color deficits or when viewed on a black and white screen.
3.1 Markup rather than images is used to convey information when an appropriate markup language exists.
3.2 All documents validate to published formal grammars.
3.3 Style sheets are used to control layout and presentation.
3.4 Relative rather than absolute values are used in markup language attribute values and style sheet property values.

10.1 No pop-up windows are used and the user is informed before changing the window on all pages.
10.2 All form control labels are properly positioned.
11.2 Deprecated features of W3C technologies are not used.
12.3 Large blocks of information are divided into more manageable groups where natural and appropriate.

9.5 Keyboard shortcuts are provided to important links, form controls, and groups of form controls.
10.4 User testing indicated that our entire audience possesses user agents capable of navigating text input fields without having placeholder text in them. Thus, we deemed that the “until user agents” section of this checkpoint was fulfilled. Note: some accessibility testing programs may give an error on this checkpoint when checking our website. Again, we believe that we have indeed fulfilled this guideline, and that including placeholder text would have been counterproductive for accessibility. This guideline is archaic and is set to be deprecated in WCAG 2.0.

13.5 Navigation bars are provided to highlight and give access to the navigation mechanism.
13.6 Related links are grouped and the group is identified.
