Skip Navigation
To skip navigation to content:
- This site allows users to skip directly to the main content for the page.
- Using the [ Access key allows easier keyboard-based navigation around the site, and saves those who tab through the site navigation having to go through all navigation options on each page.
Visual Design
This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout.
This site uses
only relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified "text size" option
in visual browsers. You can adjust the size of the font through your browser's
menu — in Internet Explorer, click on the View button, then choose
Text size from the menu options and adjust accordingly.
If your
browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of
each page is still readable.
Printing
This site uses a print stylesheet for printing purposes. This allows a page
to be printed straight from the browser in a "print-friendly" manner.
Only
the main content from the page will be printed — the top banner and
navigation links and images will not be printed.
Note that the print
stylesheet will only be recognised in version 5 browsers and above.
