The Falls Prevention for Older Persons website has been designed to take advantage of the best practices in Web Standards (2004).
You may have been referred to this page because you are currently using a browser version which does not take advantage of the latest design and security features available. We suggest upgrading your browser if you have the ability to do so.
Upgrading will improve your web experience, enabling you to use and view sites as their creators intended.
Downloading and installing a new browser is easy. You will be able to follow
simple directions when you download the browser. The following browsers support
numerous web standards (this is not an exhaustive list):
Alternative to downloading: If you have a slow Internet connection
(eg. dial-up modem), you may prefer to get a new browser by purchasing a computer
magazine - the kind that comes with a CD - from your local store or newsagency.
Almost all such magazines include the latest browsers on their CD.
Examples are: PC World, PC User, Internet.au, Australian Computer Magazine.
Web Standards were created by the World Wide Web Consortium - a governing body of the people who invented the web itself. The W3C created these standards so the web would work better for everyone. New browsers generally support these standards; older browsers generally don't.
While this page is intended to suggest some good options for upgrading your browser, please note that this is not an exhaustive list of browsers that support web standards, nor a test of browser compliance. Also, we do not intend to recommend a particular manufacturer's browser; only to suggest upgrading to a browser version that gives you the best and most secure browsing experience.
