## Web Browser note

The Virtual Textbook is best used with a standards-compliant Web browser such as Firefox, Opera, Safari or Camino.

Microsoft Internet Explorer (even version 8) 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.
