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. Pressing ENTER will then take you to that page.
All pages on this site define the following access keys:
- Access key 1 - Home page

- Access key A - About FLaT
- Access key P - Projects
- Access key E - Evaluation
- Access key G - Application Form & Guidance
- Access key L - Links

Access Keys are available for each section in the site and have been set as the first letter of the section name, for example A is the access key for About FLaT, P is the access key for Projects.
Tab Indexing
Links in the site have been given a tab weighting to allow quick access to each link. The order for tab indexing in a page is as follows:
- Content Links
- Main Navigation
- Breadcrumb Navigation
- Sub Section Navigation
Links
Links have title attributes that describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target.
Images
- All content images used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics include null ALT attributes.
- Complex images include LONGDESC attributes or inline descriptions to explain the significance of each image to non-visual readers.
Visual design
- This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout.
- This site uses only relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified "text size" option in visual browsers.
- If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
