You will then be taken to the results page. You can either click on one of the pages listed, or on the Seniors' logo to go back to the home page.

Javascript

To be able to use the large text and high contrast versions of the website you must have javascript enabled. If you press the buttons and nothing happens it could be that you are using a very old browser, or have javascript turned off.

Javascript allows websites to have more features, however in the wrong hands it can be a security risk which is why some people turn this feature off in their browser. For more information on javascript see this wikipedia article.
