In the interests of helping to make the web accessible and usable
by everyone, including people with physical, visual, or other
impairments, accessibility features have been implemented on this site.

Design

This site uses cascading style sheets (CSS) for visual layout. All
pages are built using structured markup so that if your browser or
browsing device does not support style sheets (or you choose to turn
them off), the content of each page is still readable. Very basic styles
are implemented for Netscape 4 owing to its quirky interpretation of
CSS.

This site uses relative font sizes so that you can adjust the size of
the text if you find it too small or too large. Access this feature
with the View > Text Size option on the menu bar at the top of the
browser window.

In Netscape 6+, Mozilla and Firefox browsers, you can also adjust
text size by holding down the CTRL key and pressing the + and - keys.
Windows users with a wheel mouse can adjust text size by holding the
CTRL key and turning the wheel.

Navigation

Navigation is consistent throughout all pages of this site. Every page includes links to the Search form (access key 4).

All pages include a "skip navigation" link to bypass the navigation bar.

This enables users navigating with tab keys rather than a mouse to
jump straight to the page content. (On visual browsers this link is
invisible if your browser deals correctly with cascading style sheets.)

All links can be followed in any browser, even if scripting is turned off.

Web Standards

All pages on this site meet the Priority 1 requirements of the W3C
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines; many of the Priority 2 and 3
requirements are also met. Further accessibility modifications are under
review.

Pages on this website conform to XHTML 1.0 Strict specification. If
you encounter a page which does not validate please contact the IT
Department on 0131 553 8749.

All style sheets validate to the W3C standard.
