General Information
This website is marked up in XHTML 1.0 Strict and styled with CSS. The design does not use any tables resulting in greater design flexibility and cleaner code. This website has been tested in Gecko (Mozilla Firefox 0.10.1), Opera (7.01) and Internet Explorer (6.0) for consistent appearance.
Features
AccessibilityThis design incorporates accessibility features for people with impaired vision. This website tentatively conforms to the WCAG double A rating and § 508 guidelines for web content accessibility.
The relative simplicity of the website's underlying markup ensures that your page can be easily transformed for rendering in aural, tactile (braille) and other non-visual user agents.
Additionally, the majority of document metrics (widths, lengths and spacings) are font-size relative. This means that a user can increase the default font size of the page (using their browser) without compromising its layout.
Use of “:target pseudo-class"The :target pseudo-class, a feature of CSS3, has been used. When you use the bookmarked links in the FAQs to jump to a specific question, the corresponding question is highlighted for easier visualisation.
Note: This feature only works in CSS3-compliant browsers (essentially only Gecko-based browsers like Mozilla Firefox).
Alternative StylesheetsThis website contains alternative stylesheets, which allow you to view different layouts of the page. The alternative stylesheets are:
- Compact (for viewing the page on handhelds), Crimson (a different colour scheme),
- Larger Fonts (for improved accessibility),
- Left Sidebar (to view the sidebar on the left),
- Print Preview (to see what the page looks like when printed).
To view the alternative stylesheets in Gecko, look in the use style submenu under the view menu (for Mozilla), or use the stylesheet switcher in the bottom-right corner of the browser's window (for Firefox).
Internet Explorer 6.0, unfortunately, currently lacks this particular feature. Internet Explorer 7.0 will work fine with this feature.
