WEB BROWSER COMPATIBILITY

To view this website and use the functionality offered, we recommend a monitor resolution of 1024 x 768 or greater. This website is optimized to be compatible with the following browsers:

  • Internet Explorer 6 - 7 on PC platform (Windows XP or Vista)
  • Mozilla Firefox 2 on PC platform (Windows XP or Vista)
  • Mozilla (Mozilla Firefox) 2+ on Mac platform (OS X only)
  • Netscape 8 on Mac platform (OS X only)
  • Safari 2-3 on Mac platform (OS X only)

This web site has not been optimized for use with other browsers, including Opera, Lynx, and some versions of Netscape. This website has not been optimized for backwards compatibility with older versions of IE, Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox or Safari, in which known conflicts exist. Using non-compatible browsers or systems may prevent you from viewing or using some functional components in this website.

This web site has not been optimized for compatibility with Mozilla Firefox 3 (beta).

MicroSoft no longer supports IE for Mac. Because Internet Explorer 5.2 on Mac platform is not standards compliant, problems in rendering the dynamic scripting, floated elements and cascading style sheets used in this website may not correctly display page layouts and/or may impair functionality.

Known issues

This website uses pop-up windows. If you use a pop-up blocker, it may be convenient to enable pop-ups for this website (in the browser, usually near or below the url address box) or hold down the control [Ctrl] key when clicking a link to launch a new browser window. Pop-up windows will open under a new tab in tabbed browsers, such as IE 7 and Firefox (also Firefox Mozilla).

This website employs javascript, cascading style sheets (css) and dynamic html (dhtml). Older version browsers may not properly render pages that employ these functional components. Also, disabling javascript or cookies can reduce functionality in some browsers. Check the Internet Options settings on your browser to ensure these functions are enabled (the settings usually may be found under the "Security" tab).

On Internet Explorer 6 - 7 browsers, high security or privacy settings may prevent you from using some functional components in this website. To use this website fully, you need to reduce your privacy settings to medium or low (you can check this in the Internet Options setting on your browser). This will not harm your computer.   

 

 

How to check the browser version you are using:

  • At the top of your browser window, select "Help" from the main menu (in Safari check under "Safari," in Firefox check under "Firefox")
  • Move down to and select  "About [browser]" (e.g. "About Internet Explorer")
  • A small window will open, showing which version you are using

Printing issues. Mozilla for both PC and Mac platforms has known printing issues. Specifically, web pages with long content may output only the first page to a printer and no succeeding pages. Using another browser is recommended, if you wish to print.

Printing without page headers and footers. If you are using IE 6.0+ or Mozilla Firefox 1.5 for PC, the page header and footer can be suppressed from printing by adjusting your browser settings. In the top left side of the browser, go to "File," then drag down to "Page Setup…" Either delete the default data entries in the header and footer boxes or select "--blank--" from the drop down menu. You may also adjust page margins in this screen. Click "OK."

Disappearing scrollbars. Older versions of Safari have a known bug for which browser scrollbars will not display automatically, as they should, on web pages with long content; this bug appears to have been fixed in Safari 2.0.4. Please download the most recent Safari browser, if you experience problems with browser scrollbars not appearing where they should.
