By incorporating support for web standards and accessibility we are using techniques (including Cascading Style Sheets CSS and XHTML) that have been approved and released by the W3C after older versions of browsers were released.
Where possible, we would encourage visitors with old browsers (pre 2001) to upgrade to the latest versions available (usually free) from the relevant manufacturer as certain functions may not be fully supported and this may affect the full presentation of this website. For example, for visitors who have difficulty using a mouse, this site offers access keys and tabbing order as alternative keyboard shortcut to highlight main navigation options in supporting browsers.
Access keys allow any visitor to use their keyboard to move from page to page within their browser. Home is [ALT+m], Other Services is [ALT+s] etc. Once selected, Microsoft Internet Explorer will then require you to press the enter key to select that active link whilst Netscape Navigator 7, Mozilla Firefox and most other browsers will go straight to the relevant page. Main Navigation also uses tab indexing so that you can also use the keyboard tab key to move though these menu options. A Skip navigation feature is incorporated for people using the Lynx or jaws aural and braille readers allowing you to skip the main navigation straight to the main content of each page thus avoiding these browsers continually reading out the links each time on every page.
Font sizing is relative. If you find the text too small (or indeed to large) simply choose an appropriate text size option from your browsers menu (usually in the view menu, text size). If you feel there are other areas of website accessibility Richard Baker should improve please contact us and let us have your feedback.
