Unfortunately,
until international standards are set for the Internet, and companies
producing Web Browsers comply with those standards, there will
be compatibility problems from browser to browser in accessing
Web Sites.
We make
every attempt to write HTML code that is standardized and compatible
with the various browsers on the market. But due to various inherent
problems peculiar to one browser or another, we cannot guarantee
total compatibility with all browsers.
There are
known problems with Netscape Navigator such that when a
page initially loads, there may be spots where the design appears
"broken up." To solve this, resize your window and Netscape
will redraw the page. Other known problems are, cell colors being
transparent and making white text invisible in that cell. Stretching
cells and text boxes on Forms Pages and the list goes on and on!
We can try many ideas to attempt fix these problems, but it's
up to Netscape to release a patch to make their browser work correctly.
Our pages
are visually enhanced for users of Internet Explorer 5.0
and up, and Opera 4.0b and up. These are browsers that have workable
support for the newest technologies "CSS," "PDF"
and others. We therefore recommend (but do not mandate)
that you view this site with one of those browsers.
This problem
has been experienced by people, institutions and organizations
worldwide such as Michigan
Institute of Technology, University
of Pennsylvania, & Virginia
University
The
easiest fix is to download and use the free Internet Explorer
from Microsoft.
We
suggest version 5.0 or 6.0
