Accessibility
Songtsen's aim is to make this site as accessible as possible. Starting with a simple, straight-forward design, as well as clear, organized content, several accessibility-enhancing features were incorporated in the layout to better ensure the site's maximum accessibility.
Resizing text
The text in this site can be resized by clicking on one of the A's in the top right corner, above the content:
The text can be further resized by using the resizing function in your web browser — hold your CTRL key and move the scrollwheel on your mouse or scroll the vertical bar of your touch pad. Scroll downwards to make the text larger or scroll upwards to make the text smaller.
Alt text
Alternate text is provided for images and links, for compatibility with certain browsers and for the visually impaired.

Compatibility notes
System requirements: This site was constructed using the most recent version of xHTML and CSS2. As web programming standards have recently changed to create standardization among the major web browsers, this site may not be backward compatible with some internet browsers. Older versions of certain browsers do not support the latest web programming standards, such as CSS2. If your browser is older (i.e. IE 6, Netscape 4.x, Opera 6.x ), it may not properly present Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Java Script, colours, text formatting, and other features. Menus may also not display correctly. You can determine the version of your browser by choosing ‘Help’ in the top menu of your browser and then ‘About’.
Recommended screen resolution: 1024 by 786 or higher.
Recommended browsers: The site is best viewed in Mozilla Firefox version 1.7 or higher or Internet Explorer version 7 (or higher).

Java script
Certain features require Java script to be enabled, such as Songtsen's photo gallery, Chanteloube's Google calendars, and certain search functions. If you don't already have Java, you can get a free download at: www.java.com.
Viewing PDF files
To view PDF links on this site, you will need a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you do not already have Acrobat Reader installed, you may download a free Adobe copy here:
How to save PDF files
Please note, that if you left click on the PDF link, most browsers will automatically open the file inside the browser. To save the document, click 'Save a copy' on the far left of the PDF toolbar. The other option is to download the file by RIGHT clicking on the link and select 'Save Link As...' or in some browsers 'Save Target As...'). The RIGHT click option will save some time if you prefer to download the file before viewing it.
You can also get the Mozilla Firefox add-on 'PDF Download', which allows you to choose if you want to view a PDF file inside the browser (as PDF or HTML), if you want to view it outside Firefox with your default or custom PDF reader (such as Adobe Reader), or if you want to download it!
Google Earth maps
Google Earth Songtsen map
Songtsen has created an interactive Google Earth map of the organizations' main locations in Dordogne, France, which also includes helpful information, such as local train stations and nearby airports. This map can be downloaded and saved to your computer. However, to view the map, Google's software is required. If you do not have Google Earth installed on you computer, you can download the free software here.
