TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Browser Compatibility

I have tested this site with IE 5/6/7/8, Firefox 3, Netscape 7 and Opera 7 on Windows 98/NT4/XP/Vista/7. Let me know at editor@broxted.org if your browser reports any errors and I shall endeavour to correct them.

I long ago gave up trying to keep it compatible with Netscape 4, because there are too many bugs in its handling of layers and style sheets.

It will not be rendered correctly in Opera 6.

If anyone out there is viewing it on an Apple or Linux machine, I should like to hear whether or not it is rendered correctly.

I have noticed that IE versions 5 and 6 sometimes do not render large GIF files correctly, for example the 6" Ordnance Survey maps that you can call up on the "Historical Maps" page.

Browser Plug-ins

The only plug-in you will need for this site is the Adobe^® Acrobat^® Reader^™. Click here to download the latest version.

Screen Resolution

All pages are designed to be viewed at a resolution of 1024 x 768.

Domain Names

I have registered some other domain names to prevent their being snaffled by commercial organisations. The following have been set up to forward requests to this site:

broxted.org.uk

broxted.net

chickney.org

chickney.org.uk

chickney.info

If any voluntary organisation in Broxted or Chickney would like to use one of these domains, I shall donate it with pleasure.

I have also registered the following names for the same reason. The following have been set up to forward requests to www.fiveparishes.co.uk.

greateaston.org

littleeaston.org

tilty.org

Again, if any voluntary organisation in the Eastons or Tilty would like to use one of these, I shall donate it.
