No. We try to make this website’s contents accessible on all browsers and devices. The visual layout, however, will vary depending on the age and platform of your browser.
The following browsers are recommended because they are relatively secure and reliable in their display of standards-based websites.
Most people use Internet Explorer because it comes pre-installed on their computers, however:
There are many other browsers out there but this is a short list just for your reference.
For PDAs and mobile devices other than Opera, it is recommended to switch off stylesheets (a.k.a. CSS) if possible, because most PDA browsers will incorrectly apply computer “screen” settings when in fact they should apply “handheld” device settings.
This browser has certain defects that may cause, for example, elements to “jump” when you place the mouse over them, or background images to disappear when you scroll the page. We work around these browser bugs when they compromise the delivery of information, but these issues should be fixed by the manufacturer, not the website makers. The same applies to bugs in other browsers.
We try to keep the contents as organized and simple as possible to aid navigation and comprehension. Accesskeys are used for links to the homepage (0) and main section pages (1). Tables are only used for tabular data.
We welcome feedback from users with special needs. Please use the feedback form, email your comments to krodriguez@lau.edu.lb, or, call the Marketing and Communications Department at 01-786456, extension 1465.
The standards-based pages on this site have a built-in printer-friendly format that is designed to make relevant information fit in standard Letter or A4 page sizes. Peripheral elements, such as navigation links, are often not included in the printer-friendly format. This doesn’t work with old browsers, unfortunately.
It’s the date of the last significant modification to a page’s contents.
Simply put, they are guidelines on how browsers should render elements on a page. When a page is coded to standards, any given visual browser should display it accurately, and there’s no need to filter out specific browsers or to restrict access to users of a certain brand. Standards-based pages are forward-compatible, meaning they’ll adapt easily to new technologies.
The standards also provide options for different media (print, audio, handheld devices, TV) as well as other features to make content equally accessible to people with disabilities.
These technical specifications are publicly issued and developed by the World Wide Web Consortium.
