Content on this site is designed to work with any current browser.
Different Browsers—Different Experiences
Please be aware that pages view differently in different browsers. This site has been designed using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for layout which works best when the browser conforms to current Web standards.
All pages have been checked and found to be valid 1.0 Transitional and valid CSS using W3C's validator services:
While these standards are not infallible, they help ensure that changes in technology do not degrade your experience on this site and avoid restricting the viewer to a single browser because of proprietary markup.
Firefox Recommended
Firefox most closely follows these standards at the time of the site design. Internet Explorer 8 resolves many issues experienced with prior IE versions. Other browsers also vary in their conformation to standards.
External Links Open New Windows
Links pointing to an address external to this site will open a separate window using Javascript. These are not pop-up windows. Simply close the new window to return to this site. If Javascript is not enabled in your browser, the links will function normally.
The Menu System
The menu system on the left was designed to make the listing compact, yet to retain accessibility.
Where you see the right angle quote (») there is an extended menu available. Simply click on the link to the right to reveal this menu.
Changing Text Size & Colours
This site design is created with browser sizing at 1024 x 768 and care has been taken to choose colours that are cross-platform compatible.
Current browsers such as recent versions of Firefox, Mozilla, Opera, Safari and Internet Explorer offer a great deal of flexibility in changing these settings to suit your needs and preferences. You may alter text size or colour settings to enhance your experience on this (and other) sites if you have special requirements.
Text May Be Enlarged
Text sizes may be increased/decreased in modern browsers if you have difficulty viewing the default sizes or if the default sizing doesn't work for you. This function varies by browser but is usually located in the View menu:
- Internet Explorer: View > Text Size.
- Internet Explorer 8: Page > Zoom (on the Command menu).
- Firefox: View > Text Zoom.
- Opera: View > Zoom.
- Safari: View > Make Text Bigger / Make Text Smaller.
Your browser's help menu will give you more information about how to use these features.
Extreme Increase May Create Problems
Images do not resize. The navigation menu limits increased text sizes (with the exception of Firefox 3 or later when using the View > Zoom feature).
Colour Settings
Some browsers settings allow you to view the page with text, background and link colours that work for you. Your browser's help menu will give you more information about how to use these features effectively.
Use a Current Browser
To view this site properly, you may wish to upgrade to a newer browser. Current versions of Firefox, Mozilla, Opera, Safari and Internet Explorer will work best.
Update to Internet Explorer 8 Recommended
It is strongly recommended that Windows users update their Internet Explorer to version 8 using Windows Update. Older versions put you at significant risk. Security vulnerabilities are no longer addressed by Microsoft. Firefox is recommended for surfing the Web.
Older Browsers May Not Display Correctly
Your experience will degrade when viewing this site with an older browser.
Content should be visible, but may be portrayed in your browser's default fonts and may be placed incorrectly. There may also be unintended side effects like visible borders around linked images (a result of changing Web standards). This affects primarily Netscape 4 and Internet Explorer 4 as well as their earlier versions — less than 5 percent of users.
