ACCESSIBLE

enables you to comply with section 508 of the Rehabilitation Acts and meet usability requirements for disabled users. Specifying the ACCESSIBLE option, when used with the ODS HTML statement, generates descriptive text and data for your graphs. SAS/GRAPH writes accessibility information to the graph's output HTML file, and creates a left-justified footnote that provides a link to the information.

The information and the link are not visible in the output HTML, however both are detected by accessibility aids, such as screen readers. You can also access the information by pressing the tab key and enter. The information will be displayed once you press enter on the link in the footnote. The information will also display if you move your mouse over the location of the left-justified footnote, and click the link when the mouse pointer shape changes.
