Help: Browser for the World Wide Web
On this page, you will find:
General Information
You can use this service with any WWW browser. However, to take full advantage
of its advanced features, we strongly recommend using a graphics-based,
forms-capable browser such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet
Explorer. This is for the following reasons:
- Graphics: One of the important features of the service is its
high quality presentation of mathematics in the abstracts. This is
achieved by providing each piece of mathematics as a small graphics file.
You will not be able to read the mathematics of any abstract without a
graphics-based browser.
- Forms: The service uses forms for registration and as the basis
for the online search facility. You therefore need a forms-capable
browser.
Which World Wide Web browser?
There are a wide variety of browsers available for navigating the World Wide
Web. The following list shows those browsers that are known to be compatible
with this and other IOP Publishing WWW services. (This list
is not exhaustive and you may prefer to use a browser not listed here.)
How to configure your World Wide Web browser
In general terms we recommend accepting the default settings of your browser.
Because mathematics in abstracts is provided as small graphics files you may
find that the default proportional font of some browsers rather small in
comparison. If this is the case, check your browser's proportional font
settings and alter them accordingly. We recommend Arial or Helvetica 11pt for
best on-screen presentation.
Due to the large variety of browsers in use, IOP
Publishing cannot offer detailed technical support on how to configure your
browser. If you are having problems with your browser software, refer
to its documentation or contact your system administrator.
