The entire package for the active image map takes only 13k, including the HTML, the java class, and the graphics and only needs to be downloaded once. Our intention is to fulfill the dissemination of information aspects of the Institute's mission by using the web to the full extent possible given the state of commonly accessible technology. We have also made every effort to insure that our pages are fully accessible to all browsers and platforms from Lynx to Navigator on the Macintosh, though the layout and aesthetics are optimized for MS IE 3.01. Page design and HTML coding was done with FrontPage97. Internet Explorer 3.0 is the browser of choice, though the site was designed to be navigable and usable, if not pretty, for every browser from Lynx through Navigator.
All graphics are custom.
Some source material was drawn from Barry's Clip Art Server . Software used for these includes Corel Draw 4.0 and 7.0 for the layout and object sketches, JASC 's PaintShop Pro 4.0 Beta, Corel's PhotoPaint 7.0 and Alchemy Mindworks ' GIF Construction set for the GIF issues, including paletizing and animation. Some source material was also drawn from the clip art included with CorelDraw. Best experienced with Click here to start. Questions, comments and criticisms are welcomed by the webmaster .
