Tour of the DCMP Web Site > Overview

Each section of the Web site has a similar structure to hopefully make it easy for you to find your way around.

 

The main sections of the site are given in the tabs at the top of each page. When you are inside a particular section, that section's corresponding tab will be highlighted. You can also use alt-key combinations to access these tabs.The underlined letter in each tab is the key that should be used for this action.

 

For example: To reach the "About Us" section, you can click on the "About Us" tab, or you can use alt-shift-A to shift the focus to that tab via the keyboard. Notice that the "A" in "About" is underlined, identifying the capital A as the letter that should be used.

 

Within each main section is a landing page for that section. The landing page has major links across the top half of the page. In graphic-based mode, these links are accompanied with photos; in text-based mode, these links are spaced across the page. more information... The HTML structure of the landing page is a table with three columns. Each column contains a link (and in graphic-based mode, a photo) which, when clicked, will either jump to another page or will display text below the row of links.


 

You will notice that within each section, the navigation menu on the left side of the browser window will change to show the links within that particular section (in graphic-based mode). In text-based mode, the links within each section are always available in the form of a bulleted listing under each main section listing.

 

There are also some static (always available) links on each page.
