Help and Usage

This page is presented with no styling control so that all user agents can access it without a problem.

The NRC website has been written using fairly basic and entirely standardised coding. It displays perfectly well with modern Mozilla browsers such as Firefox and Galeon, also with Konqueror (presumably therefore Safari), Opera and Lynx. No attempt has been made to accommodate older or non-standards compliant agents such as the earlier Internet Explorer or Netscape browsers and minimal effort has been expended on Internet Explorer 5 & 6 - life is just too short!

Therefore, if you are having any difficulty with the website on a visual browser, please check your settings first. If nothing works you could either disable styles altogether via your settings/preferences or install a new browser.

Text Size

The text sizes on this website are fully scalable to allow for easier reading. However, the ability to magnify is left entirely up to your own browser's ability; no special coding has been used except simplicity. If you need enlarged text and your browser can't provide it, then please find a better browser - sorry!

Access keys

The website uses 'access keys' to simplify some regularly used links and page controls. Depending on your user agent, a combination 'alt', 'meta', 'ctrl' or other key at the same time as the relevant access key should force the required action.

Access keys are as follows:
S - Skip navigation
T - back to Top of page
L - Links to other sites
1 - go to homepage
0 - (zero) details of accesskeys
9 - how to contact us

Please note: Access keys are often case sensitive so S and s may not mean the same thing on your computer. This is to avoid the fact that some systems use similar key combinations for other tasks e.g. 'ctrl - s' to mean 'save to disk' etc..
