Incompatible Browser Help
Why am I here?

The creators of site you were trying to visit have directed you to this page because your browser does not support accepted web standards.  This site makes extensive use of the scripting languages JavaScript and PHP but your browser either has this feature turned off, or is too old to support it.

What “accepted web standards?”

The ones created by the World Wide Web Consortium – the people who invented the Web itself. The W3C created these standards so the Web would work better for everyone. New browsers, mainly, support these standards; old browsers, mainly, don’t.

What can I do?

Your choice of software may be out of your hands. However, if you do have control over what software you are using you should consider upgrading your browser. Doing so will improve your web experience, enabling you to use and view sites as their creators intended.

The following browsers support numerous web standards including CSS and JavaScript, both of which are used extensively in this site:

Please note that this page does not pretend to be an exhaustive list of browsers that support web standards, nor a test of browser compliance, nor a side-by-side comparison of various manufacturers’ browsers.

Note to AOL 4.0 & 5.0 users

When using the use AOL browser, you may get a JavaScript error but, when using an external browser (i.e., Netscape or Internet Explorer) this does not occur. AOL uses compressed graphics by Default. This doesn't allow Java to work while browsing inside AOL. (Additionally, this makes photos you view on web pages look less than optimal...actually, it makes them look downright terrible.)

Do the following:
  1. Click My AOL.
  2. Click Preferences.
  3. Click the WWW icon.
  4. Click Web Graphics tab.
  5. Uncheck the box next to Use Compressed Graphics.
  6. Click OK Restart the computer.
  7. Return to HTD Heat Trace
Note that there are both 16-bit and 32-bit versions of AOL 4.0. Only the 32-bit version has full Java capabilities.
