Website accessibility
Our website is built so users with a standards compliant or popular modern browser will be able to see the pages as they are designed. We specifically aim at the following:
Windows browsers
- Firefox 1.5
- Firefox 2
- Internet Explorer 7
- Internet Explorer 6
And we have tested to ensure the site is as close as possible to the design in:
Windows browsers
- Firefox pre 1.5
- Internet Explorer 5.5
- Netscape 8
- Opera 9
Mac browsers
- Firefox 2
- Opera 9
- Safari 2.0.4
If you experience difficulty and are unable to update to one of the browsers above you may find it easier to turn off CSS. Please refer to your browser's help pages for more information (in most browsers these can be accessed by pressing the F1 key or selecting Help from your browser menu).
Enhancements
The site uses javascript and Flash to enhance the use and design of the website. Excepting the calendar on our events pages, alternative functionality is provided where enhancements have been put in place. The calendar requires javascript to be enabled and we are seeking an alternative solution.
Text
All text on the website is resizeable using a compliant browser.
Changing font sizes:
Internet Explorer 7
In your toolbar select "Page" followed by "Text size" and change to your preference. Internet Explorer 7 also allows you to zoom the page as a whole. Select "Page" followed by "Zoom" and adjust to your preference, or use the keys "CTRL" and + or - at the same time. "CTRL" and "0" (zero) will reset the zoom.
Firefox
In your toolbar select "View" followed by "Text size" and change to your preference or press the keys "CTRL" and + or - at the same time. "CTRL" and "0" (zero) will reset the text size.
