APA Site Browser Compatibility

This website has been designed to be compatible with a wide range of browsers. Therefore it has employed simple HTML, no complex Java applets, transparent GIFs and simple page formatting. Nevertheless, optimal viewing will still be system dependent.

To provide transparent image compatibility the site employs GIF imagery rather than the superior PNG format used in the prototype, at some expense in the sharpness of the embedded text. Some browsers unfortunately still cannot render transparent PNGs properly. A Flash plugin will be required for embedded video footage, and a PDF plugin for Adobe PDF format files. Graphics are mostly JPG, PNG and some GIF, the latter as noted to accommodate problems in certain browsers.

A large fraction of the imagery has been adjusted in contrast and brightness to maximise image quality when viewed on a typical computer display with typical gamma correction values.

Text font size has been set to HTML default. Unfortunately with user displays varying in size from 800x600 up to 1920x1080 pixels, and a range of different possible browsers, no specified font size will display the same on all browsers and systems.  We therefore suggest that you use the browser's facility to set font size for viewing to a value which is comfortable for you (empirical experience suggests that a 1280x1024 display format is comfortable with IE/XP).

In August, 2007, all fonts were standardised to UTF-8 to accommodate constraints on our provider's web server. In most browsers this will result in automatic recognition of non-Latin fonts. If this does not occur, please configure your browser accordingly.

Some browsers experience problems with large HTML tables, which can impact rendering of some pages on a browser. While every effort has been made to correct tables which disagree with common browsers, we cannot guarantee that page formatting will always be flawless on every type of browser.


APA recommends the use of
Mozilla/Firefox, Chrome or Safari as the preferred browsers for this website as they have exhibited no observed problems in displaying the text or graphics.

The APA website was developed on FreeBSD, and is currently maintained on a FreeBSD 7 / Athlon 64 platform.
