• Scrolling is used extensively throughout this website.
• Lifting this website to XHTML Strict, means that the control of opening a link in a new "Tab" is now moved from me to you - the user.
This is a policy change in HTML, it considers users as more than capable of deciding where a link is opened.
So, if you wish to open a link in a new tab just - right click and choose "open link in new tab".
In certain places - the "Legend Pages" and packaging "Search" this is recommended.
Opening a link in the "Same Page" is as per usual just - left click.
