You can create graphics output for the Web using SAS/GRAPH that is 508 compliant by specifying the ACCESSIBLE option in a GOPTIONS statement. However, in order to successfully use the ACCESSIBLE graphics option, you must create HTML output using the ODS HTML statement with one of the following device drivers:

When using the ACCESSIBLE graphics option with one of the device drivers above to create HTML output, a hidden data table is embedded inside the HTML output. By design, this data table is not displayed in your Web browser window by default.

To activate and view the underlying data table when viewing the graph output in your Web browser, position your mouse in the lower left corner of the graph until you see pop-up text that looks similar to "javascript:graphdata_G656EBNG()". Click your left mouse button. The area in your Web browser that is "clickable" is an area that is typically just above the first footnote and just to the right of the left vertical axis on the graph.

Another way to activate and display the underlying data table is to left mouse click on the graph itself. Then press the TAB key on your keyboard and then the ENTER key.

If you want to display a data table below the graph that is displayed by default, include a PROC PRINT step in your code after the graph procedure step instead of specifying the ACCESSIBLE graphics option.
