Testing:

Tested primarily on Microsoft Internet Explorer version 7.  Key pages also tested on Mozilla Firefox 2.0.  Please advise me of browser issues.

Code:

The website mainly uses HTML functionality for version 4 or higher browsers. This includes extensive use of frames and tables. There is a small amount of Java Script but mainly where an application I've used has written it for me. At one point there was a small amount of PHP code but this stopped working so I took it out.
