The text-only templates are fully compliant with Section 508 standards. The high bandwidth HTML templates are generally 508 compliant. However, the rotating Flash banner will cause accessibility issues if the movie is not created to be compliant. It is recommended that you use the proper JavaScript files to detect browser settings. To keep consistent with other sites in the NASA network, use the alt tags that have already been created for common images used in the header and footer.
