| What are the software
requirements for the Digital Library? |
|
To take full advantage of all of this service's features (browsing
of Tables of Contents, searching the databases, viewing PDF, etc.),
the following software configuration is recommended:
A graphical WWW browser that supports the following browser features
which are widely accepted as the current industry standard in web
browsers:
HTML forms
User authentication
Table extensions to the HTML specifications
Cookies (enabled)
Javascript (enabled)
The latest versions of Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet
Explorer are recommended to view the abstracts in the database "views"
properly.
Since the Article Collection feature requires JavaScript support
to work optimally, please upgrade to the latest versions of either
Netscape or MSIE should you wish to use it. If you wish to test
your browser for JavaScript support, please click here.
As stated, authentication is required in order to enforce the publisher's
subscription controls over its journals. This control is based on
Netscape software products, and depends on the Netscape "cookie"
mechanism to authenticate and track both individual and institutional
users throughout the system. While browsers that do not support
this mechanism may function adequately, AIP OJS technical support
in regard to authentication problems will NOT be extended to users
who are not running either Netscape Navigator (version 2.0 or higher)
or Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 2.0 or higher).
Adobe Acrobat Reader - IMPORTANT: Proper display of full-text
PDF papers in the SPIE Digital Library requires Adobe Reader
5.0 or higher. PDF's have been produced using Adobe Acrobat
5 or greater and the PDF creation software is not backward compatible.
