  • The site is navigated by using the blue pane to the left. The page that is currently displayed will be indicated in red. For students that want to work systematically, the next page to open would be listed directly below the current page link that is displayed in red. Pages that have been visited will show as grey links.
  • The course was developed for Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 and above. It is best viewed in Microsoft Internet Explorer 8. Other browsers may not present the page layouts correctly. It was also developed for 14 inch screens, which are most commonly used at present.
  • Browser settings: The text size and layout of the course will differ depending on the browser settings. To set the text size to your specifications in Internet Explorer click "view", "text size", choose "smaller". To set the text size in Netscape, click "view" and "increase font" or "decrease font". This will ensure that the text in the left blue panel will show correctly.
  • It was not designed for printing, but for online use.
  • It contains no scripting apart from browser detection, but it does contain Java applets. In order to maximise download speed, sparing use has been made of graphics at a quality that is just sufficient for 800 x 600 screen resolutions.
  • In order to avoid problems of relative file addressing on the different host servers, all the files necessary to run all of the site are included in one root folder.
  • The index file for the site is called index.html.
  • To install the entire site, all of the files on the CD, except the readme.txt, can simply be copied to a folder name of your choice.
