Home " Accessibility
The term accessibility means including people with disabilities in the participation of activities such as the use of products, services and information. Some examples are buildings with wheelchair ramps and toilets adapted for the disabled.
On the internet, accessibility refers mainly to the recommendations of the W3C's WCAG (World Content Accessibility Guide) and, in the case of the Brazilian government, to the e-MAG (Electronic Government Accessibility Model). The e-MAG is aligned with international recommendations, but establishes standards of accessible behavior for government websites.
At the top of FIFo7S there is an accessibility bar where you will find standardized navigation shortcuts and the option to change the contrast. These tools are available on all pages of the portal.
The federal government's shortcut standards are:
Pressing Alt + 1 on any page of the portal takes you directly to the beginning of the page's main content.
Pressing Alt + 2 on any page of the portal takes you directly to the start of the main menu.
Pressing Alt + 3 on any page of the portal takes you directly to its internal search.
In Firefox, instead of Alt + number, press Alt + Shift + number at the same time.
For Firefox on Mac OS, instead of Alt + Shift + number, simultaneously press Ctrl + Alt + number.
In Opera, the keys are Shift + Escape + number. By simply pressing Shift + Escape, the user will find a window with all the ACCESSKEY alternatives on the page.
At the end of this text, you can download some files that explain the term accessibility and how it should be implemented on websites.
