Screen Display Problems
Designing for all the various types of browsers out there, from Netscape to Internet Explorer, from Opera to PDA browsers, is a real challenge for any webdesigner. Internetclassrooms.com should be viewable on all versions of Internet Explorer and Netscape from version 3.0 on up. We recommend using the latest versions of both browsers to enjoy the full use of this Web site. Here are the download sites for Netscape and Internet Explorer. Other browsers (including text-based PDA browsers) should work adequately with the site, but if there are specific problems you would like us to know about, e-mail us at: techsupport@internetclassrooms.com .

Type looks too big or too small
We design the site to be viewed in Arial, Helios or Verdana type faces and at a medium text setting. If you have your browser preferences set to match, you'll see exactly what we see as we prepare the site. You can also adjust the size of the type on your screen under "preferences" or "options" in your browser. Most Web designers assume users are set to "medium."

The site doesn't work at all or looks different on my MAC?
We try to make the site viewable on all formats and
types of computers. We have many Mac users as well as PC users. Some folks are
still on 486-based computers with tiny 15-inch screens, while other users are
seeing us on high resolution Digital LCD flat panel screens or even Plasma Displays. We try to provide a happy
compromise for as many viewers as possible. We're always open to suggestions
about ways to improve the site. How can we improve?

How do I enable Java?
If you see only a grey box or no image at all when you click the link for a class you have signed up for, you may not have Java enabled on your browser. Go to your browser options or preferences and click on "Java." If you are running Microsoft XP you may not see an option to click for Java on your browser options or preferences. You may need to download the Java program from Microsoft. It is not installed by default on a new XP installation. Click here to download XP Java support from Microsoft.
