Keyboard Navigation
As per section 2.1.1 of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0, Greatascenthomes.com is completely navigable by keyboard using tabs and arrow keys. Unfortunately, some browsers require a numpad or more intricate controls. Please find a list of common keyboard navigation tips at http://webaim.org/resources/shortcuts/nvda
Navigating through individual models in current communities
The following keyboard controls allow for full zoom and scrolling navigation when browsing through each individual model.
- Panning using the up, down, left, and right arrow keys
- Zooming using the ‘a’ or ‘SHIFT’ key to zoom in and the ‘z’ or CTRL key to zoom out (Command key on Macintosh)
- Escape to reset the initial image view.
While Great Ascent Homes makes every effort to provide keyboard accessibility, not all internet browsers follow the same compatibility standards. Therefore, some browsers may not provide accessibility as outlined at the above link. For fully functional keyboard navigation, we recommend browsing with Google Chrome, which you can download at http://www.google.com/chrome/
