About This Site
Navigation and Page Layout
The navigation system is always shown at the top of each page. To help identify where you within the site, each page has a coloured bar across the top of the page in the colour relating to the current topic.
Each page has a short summary or highlights in the right-hand sidebar. This is often helpful to lead you to New! or updated sections within the topic.
Browser Support
The web pages are written to the latest W3C standards (see below) and we have endeavoured not to use any features that are not available in all the current browsers. So effectively we are using a subset of the full features of HTML and CSS. This includes the use of colours that are 'safe' on all browsers on all platforms.
We do not down-load cookies or Java applets on to your computer and use minimal client-side Javascript for validation and menu 'previews'.
The web site is tested with the following browsers:
- Internet Explorer Version 5.0 (or later)
- Netscape Version 6.0 (or later
- Mozilla Version 1.7 (or later)
- Opera Version 5.0 (or later)
- Safari Version 1.0 (or later)
If you are using an earlier version of these browsers you can download a free upgrade from the respective site. Please email the author (see below) if you are having any problems.
W3C Standards - XHTML and CSS
We have tried to create a web site that works on all recent browsers and on all platforms.
This site has been developed using XHTML 1.0 (Strict) and validates in accordance with the W3.org validation service.
We have used Cascading style sheets to create the page layouts and visual effects. Tables are used only where appropriate!
If any features of the web site do not appear to display correctly on your browser we want to know. Please contact the web author (see below) if you have any comments about the site.
Adobe Acrobat and PDF Files
All articles and presentations are stored using Adobe Acrobat. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader version 6 (or later) to read these files. The latest version of Acrobat Reader can be downloaded from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.
In line with W3C guidelines PDF files are shown on the same web page so use the Back button (Rather than Close) to return to the previous page.
Website Development
This site has been developed in close liaison with Dan Jones and members of the Lean UK team by Stephen Lewis of Shed 22. For more information please email stephen@shed22.com
