| Netscape and Internet Explorer function correctly with this server using their default installation options.
There are two specific configuration options that may cause unpredictable results while browsing this site if set incorrectly. They are the cookie configuration settings
and the page-caching configuration settings. Select the links below for instructions on adjusting these settings.
A third (usually non-configurable) requirement to use the TimeCard Processing section of this site is that the browser you
are using must support Forms. If your browser is incapable of handling Forms, it will not be possible to use that portion of the site.
Are you an AOL user? - Don't use the AOL built-in browser!
AOL (America On Line) has a built-in web browser that does not work well with web sites that post data back from forms. Your AOL browser might work here,
but we get reports from people using various versions of the AOL browser that have had some sort of problem on the site. The best work-around is to sign-on with AOL,
then minimize the AOL window and launch Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. This way you can use AOL to get your internet connection established,
but you will be using a better browser for accessing the web.
Why do AOL users have problems on this site?
It's a combination of the browser and the way that AOL tries to make websites load quickly by using proxy servers.
Once you visit a site, AOL caches a copy of that site. This saves a few seconds and works as long the site does not change - but this site uses forms extensively. Imbedded in the forms
are underlying controls that make the whole application work. Every time you navigate this site, the form changes these underlying controls and posts the form back to this server,
we then generate a screen with your requested navigation and send it back to you. The problem is that AOL thinks you want the same screen and just sends you the old cached copy.
If your are having any technical difficulties using the TimeCard Processing section of this site, please verify your settings against the step-by-step configuration instructions below.
