Keyboard access :

Different browsers :
Every browser has its own quirks when it comes to displaying web pages. Here are some of the browsers that you should test your own pages in.
User control over presentation :
One measure of accessibility is whether a website allows the user to change its presentation, font-style and sizes, background and text colour and link colours. This chapter shows how to adjust these settings in a variety of browsers.
