BasinViewer Help Files: Browser Requirements

BasinViewer has been tested with Internet Explorer 5.0 and higher and Netscape 7.0 on a windows operating system.  All other browser versions can not be guaranteed to function properly.  BasinViewer uses a DHTML interface.  If your browser does not support DHTML or JavaScript you may need to upgrade your browser.

BasinViewer uses the following web technologies that are available in some web browsers, but not all:


Why Javascript?
A Javascript interpreter is built-in to the most common web browsers. By taking advantage of this fact, we can speed up interactive web applications. Instead of you waiting while information is being sent back and forth from your web browser to our web server, we can take care of some of this directly in your web browser by using Javascript.

If you experience problems with this application, please send us a bug report.
