Display Issues

Any Current Browser Works

Content on this site is designed to work with any current browser. Support for older browsers is deprecated.

Valid Site Coding

All pages have been checked and found to be valid XHTML 1.0 Strict and valid CSS using W3C's Validator services.

Different Browsers—Different Experiences

Please be aware that pages view differently in different browsers. This site has been designed using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS1 and CSS2) for layout and works best when the browser conforms to Web standards.

Firefox Recommended

Firefox most closely follows these standards at the time of the site design. Internet Explorer 6 does not follow a number of these recommendations, although these standards are expected to be followed by Internet Explorer 7 when it is released. Other browsers also vary in their conformation to standards.

While these standards are not infallible, they help in ensuring that changes in technology do not degrade your experience on this site.

Changing Fonts Sizes & Colours

This site design is created with browser sizing at 800x600 and care has been taken to choose colours that are cross-platform compatible.

Current browsers (Firefox, Mozilla, Opera, Internet Explorer) offer a great deal of flexibility in changing these settings to suit your needs and preferences. I would suggest altering text size or colour settings to enhance your experience on this (and other) sites if you have special requirements.

Text May Be Enlarged/Reduced

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:

Extreme Increase May Create Problems

Note: Extreme increases in size may create problems with the page layout. Images do not resize and there are limits to how much room there is on the menu for the increase in text sizes.

Customizing Colour Settings

Issues With Contrast

Some viewers may find that there is insufficient contrast for comfortable viewing. This can be altered within your browser.

Changing Browser Settings

If you are having difficulty viewing this site, please change the sizing of the fonts (see resizing text above) or change your browser's settings to view the page with colours of that work for you:

Your browser's help menu will give you more information about how to use these features effectively.

Older Browsers May Not Display Correctly

Unfortunately, some content on this site may not display properly in older browsers that do not recognize or correctly interpret style sheets. Since style sheets are used both for layout and esthetics, this will necessarily degrade your user experience when viewing this site with an older browser. This problem should affect less than 5 percent of the browsers currently in use.

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 and their earlier versions.

To view this site properly, you may wish to upgrade to a newer browser. Current versions of Firefox, Mozilla, Opera and Internet Explorer will work best.
