General Orientation

This Tips and Notes page contains an assortment of relevant information that applies throughout the Scsi P&KT Mobile Web Site. Scsi encourages you to return to this page to review its helpful Tips to Keep in Mind section, to reflect on the benefits provided by Scsi's Best Practice #2: Use any browser, to perform your own series of Web page validations using the convenient hyperlinks to three publicly-accessible validation tools, and to examine and make effective use of the ever-increasing selection of Scsi's Mobile WebKISS™ Guides that are available on the Scsi P&KT Mobile Web site.

Internet Content Rating Adherence

The contents of all Web pages within the Scsi P&KT Mobile Web site adhere to the guidelines as outlined by the Internet Content Rating Association (ICRA). -

Tips to Keep in Mind

TIP #1: A standard convention - underlining every text- and graphics-based hyperlink - is always provided as an aid in promoting quick identification and ease-of-use navigation "pointers" on every page within this Mobile Web site.

TIP #2: Provided that your chosen browser supports it, whenever the mouse cursor is positioned over a hyperlink for awhile, a 'balloon help' text description (tool tip) will appear that indicates what will occur if that hyperlink is actually selected.

TIP #3: You can always use the "Google Search" functionality located at the top of each Scsi P&KT Mobile Web page to perform a 'keyword search' to quickly locate whatever Web pages (within the selected domain) contain the specified keyword.

TIP #4: Remember to make use of the navigation hyperlinks - conveniently provided at the top of every Web page - if you want to navigate quickly amongst the displayed selections.

Browser-independent Viewing benefits Everyone

View Scsi's Mobile Web site pages with any Web- or text-mode-only browser and enjoy browser-independent freedom.

How significant is this claim? For starters, you can use any Web browser (such as OpenWave, Blazer, Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla, Opera, Firefox, Flock, Safari, or any other Web browser of your choice) or any text-mode-only browser, such as Lynx - a Web page-based emulation of which can be found on Yellowpipe Internet Services' Lynx viewer Web page - to view each and every Web page on Scsi's P&KT Mobile Web site.

How is this all made possible on the Scsi P&KT Mobile Web site? The answer is, "By design to Mobile Web standards and restriction to HTML-only (read: plain vanilla) source code statements for each and every Web page." This underlying productivity-focused design foundation benefits everyone because there are no restrictions imposed as to what operating system or screen resolution settings you or anyone else must use - all examples of focusing on striving for 100% accessibility.

Now, isn't that a perfect example of independent thinking that you should pass along to other Mobile Web sites' design personnel and upper management? Won't your inputs inform them that there really are ways to implement solutions or at least reduce some of the difficulties and frustrations you've encountered when attempting to productively make use of their Mobile Web sites?

For more information regarding the importance of browser-independent viewing, take a look at Best Practice #2: Every Web page is viewable with any type of browser - described on Scsi's "Perfect 10" Mobile Web Site Standard page.
