| MySite does not require much of your web browser, however there are
some minimal technical requirements for it to function properly. If you
are using Netscape 3.0 or higher, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or
higher, then you should have no problems using MySite. Other browsers
should work as well, but we cannot guarantee it unless the browser is
compatible with the ones listed above. If you want to add or drop
classes in MySite, then we are a little stricter with the browser you
are using - we only allow ones that we have tested to ensure the accuracy
of your transactions.
There are some settings in the web browsers that can impact your use of MySite. If you have not changed any of the technical settings, then you should be OK - the default settings for your browser are fully compatible with MySite. Your web browser must have JavaScript enabled, it must accept cookies, and it should utilize style sheets (if you want it to look its best). Each of these requirements is fully explained below:
JavaScript:
|
JavaScript is a scripting language that is used to perform certain functions on your
web browser before that information is sent to the MySite server. This provides you
instant feedback, and reduces the load on the server. You can find the JavaScript
setting on the latest version of the browsers by using the following paths from the
menu bar on your browser:
|
Netscape:
|
Edit->Preferences->Advanced (The checkbox next to "Enable JavaScript" should be
checked).
|
|
Internet Explorer:
|
Tools->Internet Options->Security (Set to "Medium" or click on "Custom Level"
and set Active Scripting to "Enable")
|
|
Cookies:
|
A cookie is a small text file that the server stores on your computer. It is used to
keep track of certain information as you move from page to page within MySite. We do not record
any personal information about you in the cookie file - it is simply a mechanism the server
uses to maintain consistency across pages. It will not
capture your email address, checking account number, passport photo or blood type (but if you
could transfer a little more money into your savings account before proceeding, we would appreciate
it).
|
Netscape:
|
Edit->Preferences->Advanced (Select either "Accept all cookies" or
"Accept only cookies that get sent back to the originating server")
|
|
Internet Explorer:
|
Tools->Internet Options->Privacy (Set to any range equal
to or lower than "Medium High") |
|
Style Sheets:
|
Style Sheets allow us to apply themes across all of the pages within MySite.
|
Netscape:
|
Edit->Preferences->Advanced (Check "Enable style sheets")
|
|
Internet Explorer:
|
N/A

Please note that the instructions listed
above are for Netscape 4.x and Internet Explorer 6.x. If you are using
a different version of these browsers the instructions may not match
perfectly with your setup. Consult the help pages in your browser for
more detailed instructions.
