There used to be a page on cancer.gov with the URL https://www.cancer.gov/global/viewing-files and
now that URL takes you to the Accessibility
Policy page. There's a couple of sections at the bottom of that
page with links to applications useful for viewing files (unrelated to
accessibility). We need to find out if the two pages get accidentally
squashed into one? Or was this intentional? I'm wondering because the
EBMS has a requirement to link to
the Accessibility and Viewing Files pages separately
from the footer, and it seems a little silly for both links to go to the
same page. I've asked in the Slack digital_platform channel
if anyone knows what happened. If the change was intentional (and
permanent) then we need to remove the superfluous link from the EBMS
footer.
Got the answer on Slack. Apparently the new thinking is that they still want to provide visitors with recommendations for the best applications to use for viewing/listening to files, but it would be better to put it at the bottom of the page on which we explain our legal obligations to persons with disabilities, because that's where people will look for it. 😛 I will remove the second link.
Link removed from footer on EBMS DEV.
