How To Use The Site

This website has been built with a target screen resolution of 1024x768 or higher, although the website is still usable at a resolution of 800x600. A CSS2-compliant browser, such as Internet Explorer 5.5+ (ver 5 for the Mac), Mozilla Firefox 1.0+, and the latest JavaScript version are recommended in order to take advantage of all the features that the site has to offer.

Some users disable JavaScript for security. Menus and required features for navigation will be usable without JavaScript, but at a basic level. JavaScript must be enabled for collapsing and re-expanding menus. JavaScript must also be enabled to gain the most out of pages such as the muscle tables, found in the Anatomy section, and miscellaneous other items.

Certain pages, such as the muscle tables, are available in a print version for use as study tools. Control over print settings is available through the browser. It is highly recommended that you first check the Print Preview prior to printing. If the print preview does not meet your expectations, we recommend reviewing the browser's margin settings. If this does not produce satisfactory results, then only do we recommend reviewing the browser's print settings, as some browsers default print settings to reduce ink consumption.

Please select your browser to view some suggested print options.

Internet Explorer, found under the Tools menu, Internet Options.
FireFox, found under the File menu, Page Setup.
Opera, found under the File menu, Print Options.

We realise that there are several combinations of hardware and software, and although we strive to create a web site with compatibility in mind, we are unable to test all combinations. If you wish to inform us of anything that is not functioning, please include, in addition to the problem or issue, the page where the issue is, your browser version, Operating system and version, and JavaScript version to help us better address the problem. Please contact us with this information in whichever format best suits you.

A screen shot of the site has been marked to highlight some of the features of the site. A brief description of the features is also indicated below.

The Top menu, indicated by 1 in the figure, is also repeated at the bottom. This menu contains the main groups of information on the site.
Other links in the header and footer contain legal information, contact information, a site map and our online store.
A bread crumb trail shows you where you are in the site and allows you to quickly backtrack all the way up to the home page.
The index or main page of each main category, including the home page, shows a site map of that category where appropriate.
Most pages also have a right context menu which contains the same menu options shown on the main page.
The Right context menu has 3 functions listed at the top and bottom. "Collapse all" will reduce the menu to just the subcategories. "Expand all" shows all the menu items. "You are here" reduces all the unused subcategories, to allow you to identify your location in a large menu.
Clicking on the menu items identified with an up and down arrow, or the arrow itself (See 4a on the figure) expands or collapses the submenu.
The site maps on the index or main pages function the same way as the right context menus.
