To increase the text size:
- Internet Explorer: View > Text size
- Firefox: View > Text size
Alternatively hold CTRL (Mac users press Command) and the press the
plus or minus sign to increase or decrease the text accordingly.
Standards compliance
This website aims to conform to:
- W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1
- Priority 1,2 and 3 Guidelines
- XHTML 1.02
- CSS2
Structure and presentation have been separated - the HTML documents
contain the text that you see on the screen and some structural tags
(for example, <font> tags are not used on this website).
All text is assigned a relative font size - this means that you can resize the text if you want to (see above).
All informational images have been assigned descriptive ALT text and
decorative images are either relegated to the CSS document or have a
null ALT attribute.
Browser compatibility
This website has been tested to offer the full functionality on Windows and Macintosh on the following browsers:
- Internet Explorer 6.0 and 7.0
- Firefox 1.0.7, 1.5 and 2.0
- Safari 2.0.4
- Screen sizes ranging from 1024px to 1600px in width
This website relies on CSS2, which is
unsupported by IE 4 and below and Netscape 4 and below. It can still be
accessed on these browsers but with no styling applied to the pages.
The decision to use CSS2 was taken due to the very small number of
Internet users browsing with these older versions (now less than 1%)
