Responsive design

Since Spring 2015, our website is now responsive and can now be viewed using a range of hand-held devices that use small or medium-sized screens, in either portrait or landscape orientation, whilst always displaying a logical user-friendly layout.

When using devices with small screens the top-level menu is compacted to become a ‘drop-down’ menu that you’ll see at the top of the screen. Select this menu icon to expand.

On desktop computers be sure to make use of our large-screen layout by expanding your browser window to fill the screen.

Video

Most desktop computers still require a Flash plug-in to be installed and most browsers require the use of the latest version to be installed too. Please visit get.adobe.com/flashplayer to download the appropriate plug-in for your computer. Also ensure that JavaScript is enabled.

Most portable devices don’t use Flash but will play the video okay anyway, this is because they use HTML5 syntax which is included within the source code of our webpages too.

Visit our Video help page for further information.

JavaScript image gallery

Throughout the site images are often presented in galleries that use Javascript.

The JavaScript gallery is used to help enrich the experience of viewing images on certain pages, however, by disabling JavaScript, the images should still be available and accessible.

Although the image galleries have been tested in all major browsers, it is possible that individual user settings and browser specific rendering of JavaScript and CSS may result in the gallery functioning differently from what is expected. Should you encounter problems using the image gallery, please contact us at: webmaster@bbsrc.ukri.org.
