A common complaint of viewers of many websites is that they are unable to view fresh content when it has actually been made available by the webmaster.
Web browsers actually cache (store) some page of websites to quicken the time it takes for the viewer to view a site's content.

Some computers are set up to display information using a screen resolution of 640 x 400, using a colour palette of 256 colours, this means that your monitor is displaying an area that has 640 dots horizontally, 480 dots vertically and can only display 256 different colours on the screen at a time.
What's so bad about that? Resolution:
The larger your screen resolution, the more information you can see on the
screen, which means less mouse scrolling.
640 x 480 resolution can usually be adjusted to 800 x 600 to display more
data. The most common resolution at the time of the publication of this cd-rom
was 1024 x 768.

More and more web pages are being designed to use thousands of colours. So if your monitor is configured to use only 256 colours, some graphics and pictures you view may appear rather "grainy".
Use your computer's help menu or go to 'control panel' (PC's) to find out how to change your screen resolution and colour display.

The search facility requires the Java runtime engine. If when you try to search all that appears is a grey box with a small red cross in it, you may not have Java on your system. The Java runtime engine for Windows machines is in the browser directory on this cd-rom. Just click on the file that begins j2re-1 to install.
The search seeks for key words, then lists the pages on which these words appear.
If you want the search results to show only those pages with all of your key words, type AND in front of each of the words that form your search. If you want the search results to show pages with any of the key words, type OR in front of each of the words. You can use a mix of these techniques; for example, local AND government OR body OR authority would find local government, local body and local authority.
Specify words that you do not wish to appear in the search results, by typing NOT in front of words that form your search; for example, local AND government OR body NOT authority.
