About this Website

The NYSF website is a multi-function facility. It allows public access for interested students, parents, and sponsors. There are also special sections for participating students, staff members, and Rotary access.

We have tested this website with Safari 3 & 4, Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer 7 & 8. Although it is most likely to work in other common web browsers, we do not have the facilities to be able to support them.

This website is is currently running on an Apple Mac Pro which has Mac OS X Server installed. The webserver is Apache2, and all of the pages are scripted using PHP and built on top of the Zend Framework and the Dojo Toolkit. As for web compliance, all pages comply with XHTML / CSS specifications from W3C, including all interactive components. We are also using MySQL for all of the databases, PNG and JPEG for images.

We are careful to try to write webpages that can be viewed across a wide variety of web browsers. One way we do this is to only use the W3C standards for web documents. We then test our webpages on a number of common web browers. We like to recommend Firefox, a modern, fast, secure web browser. Our browser of choice for development and for use in the office is Safari.
