Just a quick note to let you guys know that we are working on improving accessibility for all platforms and all our users, so I want to thank everyone for their feedback, suggestions and patience while we iron everything out. I'm happy to report that anyone that is using a browser that does not support javascript, has javascript disabled or office security has it disabled, you can now open and close the categories and fully browse all areas of the index. We'll continue to tweak the various areas of the site content that currently require javascript to use (which accounts for 98% of our users), so bear with us.
I also received a complaint about the search bar up top losing the search settings on the results page. That's been fixed... so when you search a specific keyword(s) and select a category and click Go, the result page will show your search results, plus the search bar will still have the keywords and previously selected category. You can refine your search without having to re-type anything or re-selecting the category.
Stay tuned for an update to the display and filter feature... we're tweaking it a big for easier use.

When I try expanding categories I get this
"The page you opened redirected you to a page that isn’t supported by Safari.
Safari can’t open the page “” because it cannot redirect to locations starting with “(null):”."
The category seems to be open when I refresh the page, but I'm just letting you guys know.

Well this is great news, cant wait for it.
2 Questions;
- What browsers will be supported (Opra, Firefox, Safari)
- Will they have the same features as the javascript version ?

1. All modern browsers
2. Some features simply can not be done with a non-javascript counterpart, but we will do our best to ensure that non-javascript users can use as many functions to help them locate the tutorials and material they need as possible. The ability to view and use the category menu was obviously the priority, but we will continue to work on improvements for both js and non js users.
