We have now converted the site to be compliant with W3C XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS-2 Standards, so that the site will remain compliant with the newer browsers as they are released.
We are also slowly making the site conformant to the W3C Disability Accessibility Guidelines
This means the site will have an increasing dependency upon CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). Whilst the pages should remain useable in older browsers, they will not appear as intended. Font information may be lost and positioning of elements on the pages may be unpredicatable.
We would urge any user experiencing difficulties in older browsers to update to current versions.
Our own personal preference for Windows, Macintosh OSX and Linux O/S is Mozilla Firefox (current version 2.0.0.11) which can be downloaded free of charge from the Mozilla link below.
This browser is less 'intrusive' and far more secure than Internet
Explorer 5x/5.5x/6x and is available for:
- Windows 95,98,ME,2K,XP (4.7 MB)
- Mac OSX (8.6 MB)
- Linux (8.2 MB)
Firefox is available in over 35 different languages from Afrikaans to (coming shortly) Welsh.
For MAC O/S we would recommend the Safari browser
Download Microsoft Internet Explorer
