Access
Keys:
"Access
keys" have been included to assist users with disabilities
when navigating their way through the web site. Essentially keyboard
shortcuts, access keys provide quick and easy access to the main
pages without the need for a mouse. At present, only Microsoft Internet
Explorer supports access keys and using them depends upon what type
of operating system you use.
Windows
based computers - Pressing "ALT" and the access key will
give focus to that specific link on the page. If you press return,
you will then be taken to that page.
Macintosh
based computers - Pressing "CTRL" and the access key will
automatically send you to that specific page.
The
access keys used on this site are:
1
= Introduction
2 = Aims and Objectives
3 = Latest News
4 = Our Members
5 = Projects and Plans
6
= Meetings & Minutes
7 = Contact Us
8 = Links
9 = Glossary
Screen
Resolution:
Our
website is best viewed using Internet Explorer 5 and above or Netscape
4.0. or above in screen resolutions of 800x600 and above.
File
Sizes:
In order
to keep download time to a minimum, pages on this site have been
designed so that they are all under 50kb. We also endeavour to keep
the size of 'downloadable' documents, such as Adobe Acrobat files,
to no more than 200kb. In cases where this is not possible, a file
size warning has been given.
Increasing
Text Size:
Some
users might find screen text easier to read by increasing the size
at which text is displayed. To do this you should simply adjust
your browser's settings.
- If
you use Microsoft Internet Explorer, go to the View menu, select
Text Size and then either Larger or Largest.
- If
you use Netscape Navigator, go to the View menu and choose Increase
Font until the text is the size you require.
Changing
Colours:
Changing
the site's background colour can be particularly useful for users
who rely on magnification technology as white can produce an uncomfortable
glare. It is also possible to change the colour of body text on
the site. Both can be achieved by changing preferences in your browser:
If you
use Microsoft Internet Explorer, go to the Tools menu, select Internet
Options, select Colors and make changes to text and background colours
in the Colors panel.
If you
use Netscape Navigator, go to the Edit menu, select Preferences,
open the Appearance menu and select Colors. You can set the colour
of text and background from here.
Downloadable
Utilities:
Adobe
Acrobat Reader for PDF (Portable Document Format) files:
PDF
files (files with a
icon) are documents which can be viewed using the Adobe Acrobat
reader software. This software is free and can be downloaded from
Adobe.
