About The General Paragraph Shown on Each Section's Summary Pages |
Throughout this web site, each of the main section summary pages contain a paragraph that summarises the information shown on this page. The paragraph is
in a 'collapsed' state by default (not visible) but can be displayed by clicking either on the General Information title bar or by clicking on the text link below the section. If you do
not have javascript enabled the paragraph will be shown in full.Use of JavascriptThis site does use a fair bit of javascript, however the site should be viewable without it being enabled. Obviously some sections (e.g., The javascript section) will not be displayed as intended.So if you can, please enable javascript at least whilst viewing this site. Navigation
Google SearchOn all Section Summary Pages and most others especially in the Resource Web area, I have included a Google Applet to search this site or the w.w.w, this is for your convenience and further research (and not because I want you to go elsewhere!).Links in a New WindowAlso on some the pages, e.g. 'Links' pages, where there are multiple links to external sites, there is an option to open these links in a new window should you choose, this is so you can stay with me. The option when checked will persist for the duration of the browser session, so uncheck the option box before leaving the page if you don't wish the facility to remain active.Link DisplayMost Links to other information or places, both internally and externally, have normally been abbreviated to reduce space, e.g., (Another Site) and therefore not necessarily show the full URL, (e.g., www.anothersite.com). However they should still take you to the correct location.If this is not the case please let me know so I can update or repair the link as necessary. Image Display
More about the Menuing SystemThe pages of this web originally had a javascript menuing system (created using AllWebMenu). It looked good (at least I thought so) but it got slower and slower to load as the site got larger / the options increased. I have now returned to a more simple menuing system, using only minimal but not mandatory javascript. It works for me and hopefully for you too. Its a bit of a handful to maintain but at least it has minimal overheads. However as time rolls on I'm finding more uses for javascript as a result it is appearing on quite a few pages now, if only to assist moving around the pages, sections etc. so I may try another attempt at a script based menu if only for the ease of maintenance. In the meantime hopefully this current layout is straight forward enough for you not to get lost, but if you do, what the heck, you might come across something interesting.Where the menu options have become too plentiful, I have 'collapsed' the main options (usually the first two lines of the menu). This is displayed in a collapsed state (not visible) by default. There is a provision to expand the menu using either the plus symbol , located in the first visible menu option, or the text located at the bottom of the menu. If you do not have javascript enabled then the full menu will be displayed by default. ValidationSome or All of the following icons may be seen at the foot of each page.Validated to HTML 4.01 Strict. Validated to CSS 2.1. Validated to a minimum of 1.2. Suggestions for additional content, comments about presentation are always most welcome. I hope you enjoy your visit. Thank you. Neil MacPherson |
