Colleges Scotland is committed to producing websites and web resources that can be accessed by all users. This page describes some of the features that have been incorporated into this site.

Visual Design

• This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout.
• Public areas of this site use only relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified 'text size' option in visual browsers.
• If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets the content of each page is still readable.

Images

All content images should include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics have no ALT attributes.

Links

Links have title attributes that describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target.

Text Size

If you need to change the size of the text on the page, most Internet browsers will allow users to do this. However when changing your browser settings, keep this information in mind:

• Bigger text means less information on the screen at any one time and more scrolling.
• You may need to click on the ‘Refresh' or ‘Reload' button for changes to take effect.

How to change the settings using the following browsers:

Microsoft Internet Explorer

1. From the menu bar at the top, select the ‘View' menu.
2. Select ‘Text Size'.
3. There are five choices, ranging from the smallest to the largest.
4. Select a font size from the options listed.

Or

1. Select the drop down ‘Page'.
2. Then select ‘Text Size'.
3. There are five choices, ranging from the smallest to the largest.
4. Select a font size from the options listed.

Mozilla Firefox, Netscape and Safari

Press ctrl and + to increase or ctrl and - to decrease font size. Mac users should use the Apple key instead of ctrl.
