Browser help

This web site has been optimised to work with the latest available Web browsers in common usage around the world. If you are having difficulty or the site "doesn't look right", your first step should be to upgrade your browser. Browsers with a version number less than 4.0 will be problematic and in many cases will not display the site correctly. This site also uses Macromedia flash inserts and for these to display correctly I recommend you install the latest browser version.

I recommend using the latest final (not "beta" or "preview") version of Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. You should install the full release program, and not a "minimal install" to ensure you get all the features needed.

Usually the default settings of your browser's Options or Preferences will be correct. If something on the site "doesn't work" or "doesn't look right," we recommend the following option settings:

  • Turn cache on. Enable Java. Enable JavaScript.
  • In Netscape Navigator, set your proportional font to 12 point and your fixed width to 10 point.
  • In Microsoft Internet Explorer, set font to medium.
  • Windows 95 users should set the display font to "small fonts" because "large fonts" will conflict with some browser settings.
Select the "Help" pull down menu on your browser for more information on the above browser features.

The links below will take you to the free download pages for Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
