WHAT'S NEW?

 

1st April 2013 - updates and a new, simplified design are more or less complete.

 

 

www.prairie-elements.ca was hand-crafted by Richard St-Pierre using a simple text editor (EditPad Lite) and Adobe Photoshop Elements 9. All HTML and CSS coding has been validated by W3C, so the site is standards compliant. All pages on the site have been tested on the latest versions of Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari for the PC platform, and Safari, Chrome and Firefox for the Mac platform. The site also has been tested using both Safari and Chrome on the iPhone and the iPad. The native fruit image gallery is a modified implementation of javascript coding available from Highslide JS.
