Standards Compliance
All pages validate as HTML 4 strict.
Navigation Aids
All the pages in the shop section have “next” and “previous” links to aid navigation through categories in text-only browsers. Mozilla users can also take advantage of this feature by selecting the View menu, Show/Hide, Site Navigation Bar, Show Only As Needed (or Show Always). Opera 7 has similar functionality.
All pages contain a search form (access key 4).
Links
Many links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target (such as the headline of an article).
No “javascript:” pseudo-links are used. All links can be followed in any browser even if javascript is switched off.
Visual Design
All parts of the site use Cascading Style Sheets for visual layout and design. If your browser does not support stylesheets all pages should still be readable.
Text is sized relatively, so it’s possible to adjust the text size to your needs. To adjust the text size in Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firebird go to the View menu and select Text Size.
Apart from the home page, all pages have a “liquid” layout, meaning they scale to the size of your browser window. They should be readable at any size, but for maximum clarity we recommend a minimum screen resolution of 800x600.
Images
All images contain descriptive alternate (ALT) attributes.
Javascript
Javascript is required for users who wish to register. This is because when you log-in to your account the password is encrypted using javascript before it is sent across the network. This is intended to help keep your password secure.
You are not required to register to access any part of the site or purchase products.
