Technical information

Standards, Formats, Protocols

This site uses HTML4 and CSS2. A few older browsers (especially Internet Explorer) do not process CSS2 correctly, so with these the presentation of this site may be slightly different.

A few pictures in PNG format are used. Very old browsers do not understand this format at all, and some older browsers (again, Internet Explorer) misinterpret the transparency information in these pictures. So these pictures may not be displayed correctly with these browsers.

Search function

The search function uses Google as the search engine. Since changed and new pages do not enter Google's search index immediately, the search function may not find some keywords even though they are contained on these updated pages.
