NavigationEach of the web site pages has a java script based sliding menu down the left hand side of the screen.
Links include a description box informing the user where the link will go. This can be viewed by placing the pointer over the link.
Common links are placed at the top of each page for easy access.Keyboard access
Keyboard access is important for users who do not have the ability to use a pointing device. Web pages have been constructed to allow users to bind keyboard strokes to actions. Not only is this an essential tool for many sections of the community, but it is a quick and easy way for everyone to navigate the site. Just press the 'alt' key and the required letter at the same time and the relevant link will be activated.
Below is a complete list of the short cut keys to be used when navigating.

Site specificationThe web site has been designed with all users in mind.
The standard outline guide for the site was for a display resolution of 800 x 600 using 256 colours. The site is still useable with specifications different from this.
Browser compatibilityThe FITA web site uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to format the textual information within each page. Only browsers from version 4 upwards fully understand CSS formatting.
SearchingTo complete a search the user has to enter a word or collection of words into the text search box. Pressing the return key or clicking on the search button will present the user with a listing of documents which correspond to the search details. These results will be rated, the most complete matches will be listed first, decreasing in relevance as the user goes further down the list.
Submitting feedbackFITA provides an online feedback form to give users an opportunity to voice their comments on different matters.
Once the form has been completed the user must click on the submit button at the bottom of the page. This will forward the information to administration. We cannot guarantee a reply to every query but each one will be read and acted upon where necessary.
InformationSome pages within the www.gov.mt service are in other formats other than HTML or XHTML. Amongst these are portable document files (pdf). To read these files the user requires Adobe Acrobat Reader software which can be freely downloaded from the Internet.
