Changing text size and colors on websites

The text size, text and background colors of this and other websites can be changed using standard display settings on web browsers.

A web browser is a program used to view web pages; it provides a way for users to look at and interact with information online (also known as the World Wide Web.) There are many different types of web browsers available, but the two most commonly used are Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator.

To learn about how to change web browser settings, click on the below web page developed by the Web Accessibility Initiative. Clicking on the link will take you to a new web page. Follow the instructions on the page before returning to the Iowa COMPASS website. For text size changes, scroll to the heading "Why doesn't this work with some other Web sites" and follow the instructions provided.
