If you have come to this page from another website,
you have probably clicked the support or help
link. This page is to
enable web-users with disabilities access the
internet. On this page you will find links to
alternative browsers and tips to adjust existing
browsers to make web pages easier to view.
All external links
on this page open in a new window. before you download
any new browser software, please be aware that some of
the browsers are, unfortunately, not free. If you are
partially sighted, your existing browser may work well
by performing a few simple "tweaks".
I cannot guarantee
all web pages will work correctly as that is really
down to the design capabilities of the web designer of
each website. Any website that claims conformance to
"Bobby"
or the "WAI"
should render without any problem. Designers with
little knowledge or disregard to accessibility from
various devices are likely to have built a website on
a "browser specific" platform.
Enhancing your browser accessibility
Internet Explorer: This will
work on all websites that follow the CSS
conventions as laid down by the W3C
and most well designed pages. Pages using CSS will need
to have the "ignore font sizes" box
checked as per the last example, simply changing font
sizes will not work.
To change how page colours are displayed:
Tools > internet options > general > colors.
To display Web page text in a different font:
Tools > internet options > general > fonts then
select either web page font or plain text
font.
To display Web page text larger or smaller:
view > text size.
To specify fonts and colors to always use for Web
pages:
Tools > internet options > general >
accessibility.
Netscape 4X: This will
work on all websites that follow the CSS
conventions as laid down by the W3C
and most well designed pages.
increase or decrease font size:
view > increase font / decrease font
to change the fonts in your display:
edit > preferences > appearance > fonts
to change the colors in your display:
edit > preferences > appearance > colors
NOTE: Neither of these browsers tweaks are
able to change image sizes used as text.
