The website design now includes the facility to view pages with
larger fonts, or to view it with a simplified format without
images. These are intended to improve the accessibility options for
visitors to the website.
Both these functions require Javascript to be enabled in your
web browser. If you do not have a Javascript-enabled browser, then
you will only be able to use your browser's built-in facilities to
resize text.
Changing the text size
The text size can now be modified by clicking on the letter
icons at the top each page, which have the following values:
- Default text size
- Medium text size
- Large text size
Note that this text resizing works independently of a browser's
built-in text resizing, and is optimized to display our pages
without problems of text legibility, overflow and wrapping. You can
still use the browser resize function, but if exceptionally large
or small fonts are used the page readability may be affected.
If you need to resize the text to a very large text size using a
browsers built-in resizing, it may be better to switch to text view
first to avoid the above issues.
Internet Explorer
- Go to the drop down menu 'View'
- Select 'Text size' and choose the font size you prefer
Firefox
- Go to the drop down menu 'View'
- Select 'Zoom' and choose 'Zoom in'
Changing to text view
If you want to view our pages in a simplified format, with
minimal page styling and no images, you can use the new 'Text only'
link at the top of each page. This toggles the page view between
the 'normal' and 'text' views.
Please note that if you resize the text after using the
Find search your results page will be reset and you will need
to re-enter you search.
