Oxfordshire Online
Development project material made available thanks to funding

Use the menu on the left to browse the texts available
Please note that these texts are only available to those using
Internet Explorer 5+
And their explanation of why it's IE only is a hoot:
Most of this website has been written in a relatively new technology
called XML. At present, only Internet Explorer 5.0+ supports this
technology, so Netscape users, Opera users and users of other
browsers will not be able to view the texts.
Actually, it works fine in wget and is readable in Lynx (which simply
treats it as a text file). The reason it doesn't work in Firefox has
nothing to do with the fact that Firefox can't read XML, it's because
it isn't actually valid XML in the first place.
