Design

  • For those using screen readers, the content comes before the navigation on each page - at the start of the content you have the option to skip to the navigation
  • The pages on this website are all printer-friendly - just the Meriden YFC logo and the page content will appear on any printouts you make
  • All pages are designed using CSS - no tables whatsoever have been used in the design of this website
  • Structure and presentation have been completely separated - the HTML documents contain just the text that you see on the screen and some structural tags (for example, <br>, &nbsp; and <font> are not used on this website)
  • All text is assigned a relative font size - this means that you can resize the text if you want to
  • All informational images contain an ALT tag and decorative images are either relegated to the CSS document or have a null ALT attribute

We aim to make this website accessible to everyone. If you experience any kind of problem or have any feedback about it please e-mail .


Browser compatibility

This website has been tested and proven to offer full functionality on Windows, Macintosh and Linux with:

  • Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.2, 5.5, and 6.0
  • Netscape 6.2 and 7.0
  • Opera 6.0
  • Safari 1.0
  • Mozilla 1.5 and 1.6
  • Konqueror 3.0.5
  • JAWS screen reader 5.0

This website relies on CSS2, which is unsupported by IE 4 and below and Netscape 4 and below. It can still be accessed on these browsers but with unpredictable presentation results. The decision to use CSS2 was taken due to the very small number of Internet users browsing with these older versions (now less than 1%). We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
