Support for Accessibility features enables people with disabilities to use Web Generation applications. Several regulations are in place worldwide to make sure that users with disabilities can use Web Applications.
Section 508 is a U.S regulation that requires Federal Agencies' Electronic and Information Technology be accessible to people with disabilities. Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) is the U.K. government's mandate containing guidelines with which software must comply so that people with disabilities can access the software.
Users will be able to navigate through the applications solely using the keyboard without needing to use the mouse. Tab key can be used to move from one control to another, arrow keys to navigate within a control and spacebar to select or click a control. Mnemonics are supported on push buttons and menus. Screen Readers like IBM Home Page Reader can also be used to access Web Generation applications.
