Why doesn’t my browser display this website properly?

In order to support as many visitors as possible and allow users of all abilities (including those with a visual impairment or physical disability) to access this website, it has been developed according to recognised standards set down by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). One of these standards is for the use of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS2) so that the site supports any browser that in supports this standard.

Some browsers, particularly earlier versions, either do not or only partially support, this standard and they might not display the text and graphics properly. However, we have tested this website against known browsers; text and content should be accessible and usable for all of our visitors.

Screen Resolutions

You can set your computer to display different screen resolutions. This website has been designed to work best in 1024 x 768 pixel resolutions, although you may still use it on larger or smaller resolutions.

Most Windows computers let you adjust the resolution in the Display options within the Control Panel. Most Mac computers let you adjust the resolution in the Displays option in the System Preferences. For more assistance, consult the Help Files or documentation for your computer.

Depending on your computer you can control the number of colours displayed on your screen. Government of Alberta websites look best with 16-bit colour (65,356 colours or thousands of colours depending on your operating system).
