We have tried to make it as accessible as possible, but better than any Bobby or W3C validation is probably going through your critique. We are still working on improving it, but please feel free to be tough critics! Tough critics? OK, here goes... Same problem with logo as others mentioned, but at least it has alt text. No link to skip to the main contents. Links are missing title tag. Links in left column are indistinguishable from rest of text. (The same could be said about the nav bar, but the context make it obvious.) In the upper right, the links and the background fail the W3C's Color Difference Formula. (Brightness is OK, though.) There are problem when text is scaled. While the text is scalable in IE (which is very good), doing so in either IE or Firefox causes major problems. IE6 Firefox Upper right form All but a thin sliver of login button is covered by nav bar. Same thing happens to button. Links require horz. scrolling to be seen. Left column Location and Industry selects cover portion of main text. Keywords ducks under contents area. Location and Industry loose their down arrow. In all three drop downs, the text extends past bottom edge of box. Keywords has same problem as IE. Some of letters get chopped off. Navigation bar Links on right are pushed together. Height of bar doesn't change to fit letters. "Traineeships" starts to get cut off while letters are still small.
