Availability

Guidelines on how information and services can be designed to make web sites and other sites accessible have been developed by Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), a working group within World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). This site is built to be accessible to all. By accessibility we mean for example that the website should function properly regardless of the visitor's browser, operating system or any cognitive limitations (e.g. problems of comprehension).

Basic Construction

The website uses standards and guidelines approved by W3C (WCAG) as they are intended to be used. This means, among other things, that HTML 4.01 is used to structure the content, and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are used to control the site's appearance.

Users with devices that do not support style sheets can assimilate site information even if the style sheets cannot be interpreted. The content is then presented unformatted but fully functional.

Browsers

Older browsers (that do not support current standards) and text-based browsers cannot support style sheets. Follow the links below to upgrade your browser.

Screen Resolution

This site is optimized to provide the best possible overview when the screen resolution is 1024 x 768 or higher.

Adjust text size or zoom the entire site

Changing the text size may cause the site to change slightly in appearance . Learn more about how to change text size under Customize.

Help texts

Links that do not have link texts that describe the content are equipped with help texts. Most browsers show this as a tooltip when the mouse pointer is held over the link.

Navigating with the keyboard

If you do not use the mouse to navigate the site most modern browsers makes it possible to navigate using the keyboard. You can easily navigate between pages by using the ALT and ARROW keys:

• To return hold down ALT + LEFT ARROW. To move forward hold down ALT + Right ARROW.
• To browse through the links, use the TAB key. To select a link, use the ENTER key.
