Standard Compliance
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Website has been built using
codes compliant with W3C standards
for XHTML and CSS. Whilst MSRI
strives to comply with the
guidelines and standards for
accessibility and usability, it is
not always possible to do so in all
areas of the Website.
Most of the pages are compliant with
W3C XHTML 1.0 Transitional
specification. However, some pages
on the Website do not yet meet the
standards. We are working on these,
and hope to achieve full compliance
in the near future.
Visual Design
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The visual design of the Website
uses strong colours with high
contrast to provide better
readability. If the browser does not
support style sheets, the Website
will still be readable.
Text
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whilst some absolute pixel sizing is
used, all paragraph text on the
Website is relative. Modern web
browsers may allow users to use the
combination of Ctrl key with the
+ or key to increase or
decrease the font sizes.
Links
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wherever possible, links will be
highlighted in blue colour to
differentiate from paragraph text.
External links are indicated by the
external
link icon. It is recommended
to open external links in a new
windows or a new tab to avoid
breaking the flow of your browsing
experience.
Images
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wherever possible, images used on
the Website have descriptive
alternate text. Decorative or
non-essential images have been
specified using CSS.
Feedback and Enquiry
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whilst MSRI continually makes the
Website as accessible as possible,
we know it is always possible to
improve. If you experience any
difficulty in accessing the Website
or you have any comments or
suggestions as to how we could
improve the Website, please do not
hesitate to contact us.
