Accessibility (A11y)

The right to pay heavy taxes should not be denied to anyone, regardless of physical ability. John knows how important that is. His selection of Dijit was a good one here, because it handles a lot of the A11y details (A11y = A + 11 letters + y, a standard abbreviation).

One a11y consideration is low vision. Usually this is overcome by high-contrast color schemes. Dijit automatically detects this condition, and renders the page accordingly. You can simulate this by merely changing the body class from "tundra" to "a11y":

<body class="a11y">

Graphic embellishments, like gradients, are eliminated so as not to blend into the important text. And all graphic symbols are placed with clearer text ones, as in the Title Pane:

Proin risus. Nullam rhoncus purus id turpis. Praesent aliquam adipiscing ligula. Aenean lorem ante, accumsan quis, elementum id, cursus eu, lorem. Fusce viverra. Ut tempor nisi at ipsum. Etiam sed nibh.
