Access Information for the IOM Website
Browsers
All web pages produced for the IOM website are written to the XHTML 1.0 Transitional standard, use Cascading Style Sheets for presentation in accordance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Some older browsers (e.g. Internet Explorer 4 and Netscape 4) do not comply with these web standards. A minority of our visitors may still use these browsers and, as a result, will not experience the site as we have intended. They will be able to read the pages and navigate the site, but the site will look basic in comparison.
Text size
If you find that the text is too small for you to read, you can change it to a size that you are more comfortable with:
- Internet Explorer (PC), use the 'View | Text Size' menu
- Netscape 6, 7 or 8 and Internet Explorer (Mac), use the 'View | Text Zoom' menu
- Firefox, use 'View | Text size' menu
The text can be enlarged a couple of times before the visible arrangement of the page degrades.

If your browser supports them, press ALT + key (Windows) or CTRL + key (Macintosh) and then (in the case of links) Enter to use. Here is a list of access key strokes to assist users of the IOM website with an appropriate browser:
