This Site Designed For All Browsers

This site is optimized for current versions of Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera and checked for compatibility with other browsers, but should work with all browsers.

Alternatives to Images Included

The site should also display correctly even in browsers without image capability (such as Lynx) or those with the image-loading turned off. Although the page may not display data as intended, it should still be presentable when viewed with any browser.

You download these, and other, browsers from the Web Browsers and Plug-ins page.

Conforming to HTML Standards

Pages on this site are compliant with the XHTML 1.0 Transitional standards and are marked accordingly.

Older Video Resolutions

If you are using a monitor that is capable of less than 256 colours I would recommend that you set the preferences in your browser to your own colours and not load the page colours. The best display requires a minimum of 65,000 colours displayed in 800 x 600 or better resolution. The bulk of the site is designed to be available to hand-held devices, but the experience will not be optimal.

Obtaining Newer Internet Software

You can download various browsers and plug-ins from the Web Browser and Plug-ins page.

Navigating These Pages

Use the Menu Bar

The menu bar (on the left of all pages) has links to the other pages on the section of the site you are on and to the site home page. An index to subsections within a page is placed at the top of the page where applicable. You can return to these menus at any time by clicking on the linked "Return to top" text located between major sections and at the bottom of each page.

Site Navigation Information

Look for links to copyright, privacy, navigation, site map and contact information at the bottom of each page.

A Note About External Links

Links that point to locations outside of this Website will open a separate browser window (or new tab in Firefox if you have configured it to do so). This is not a pop-up window, but a direct result of your clicking on the link to that page.

This serves these purposes:

It ensures that the external site cannot prevent your return to this site by locking the Back button on your browser.
It allows you to return to the same page on this site by simply closing the new window.

PDF Documents

Several documents on this site are provided in Adobe® PDF format. This format allows you to view and print these documents without the software used to create them.

The number in brackets beside PDF documents refers to the size of the document. (PDF–250KB) means the PDF document is 250 kilobytes in size.

Adobe® Reader® Needed

Free Download

You will need the free Adobe® Reader® to view and print PDF documents. This program is available for most operating systems (platforms).

While it is very common for Adobe® Reader® to be installed on computers, you may wish to update the version you are running or simply appreciate the convenience of having a link to the download site for future reference.
