Browsers
This site functions best with a modern browser or similar assistive device. In most cases they are more customisable and have additional enhancements compared with older browsers for accessibility and web standard reasons. For instance, Netscape Navigator 6.0 and greater can interpret language abbreviations into their full meaning. This is most useful for screen readers as they would normally translate any abbreviations into garbled speech.

None the less, the site has been tested in a wide variety of browsers across different operating platforms. This includes Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer, Camino, Firefox, Opera and Safari.

You can read more about browsers and web standards at The Web Standards Project's campaign page, which gives information on upgrading to better browsers.


External applications
Sometimes, certain areas of the site requires special plug-ins. Whilst the majority of today's Internet connected computers may already have these plug-ins, not all do or some may not be the latest manufacturer's versions. In downloading the latest versions, which are free, users will be able to take advantage of latest enhancements for file reduction and accessibility issues, like speech-accessible content in the latest Macromedia Flash player.

Please follow the links below to the manufactures' homepages of external browser plug-ins that are currently used in this website.
