Getting around. The menus on the top and bottom of each page shows you each area you can visit. The area you are currently viewing is displayed in bold. When you mouse over a particular area the specific sections within that area reveal themselves in a drop-down menu. Once you are within the specific section of an area, the "Quick Links" box helps you navigate throughout the sections of that particular area. At any time, you can find where you are within the website by the “breadcrumbs” located above the main content area of any page. You may use these “breadcrumbs” to also navigate back to previously visited pages within an area. There is a sitemap available with which you can navigate the site as well.
JavaScript. There are two small scripts on this website. One rotates the main homepage graphic and the other enables the menus to have their full "drop-down" effect in Internet Explorer. While having JavaScript enabled does give you the full effect of the navigation menus and the homepage graphic, disabled Javascript in no way hinders your ability to navigate or view this site. Each main area is accessible via a click or tab/return, and the sections within each area that normally are available via the dynamic drop-down menu are available via the “Quick Links” box located on the right hand side of the page.
“Printer friendly pages.” All pages on this site are “printer friendly” by design. There are no special icons to navigate to these “printer friendly” pages. Just go to: File > Print and you are on your way!
