Web Browser note

The Virtual Textbook is best used with a standards-compliant Web browser such as Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari or Camino.  The author uses Firefox-OS X in testing and development.

Versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer prior to 9 will not render some pages correctly.

In order to utilize all features:

• Javascript must be turned on. This can usually be done through the "security" panel within the browser's preferences control. On Windows, you may need to turn "protection" off.
• The user's computer must be connected to the Internet in order to make use of external hyperlinks and jQuery functions.
