Viewing BioTactics: Browser Information

Thank you for visiting our site. You are using:

• The primary objective of this site is to provide valuable content that is unique as well as provide easy navigation for most of our customers. Therefore, this site uses special formats and programs in JavaScript and ActiveX to enhance content. JavaScript requires Internet Explorer (I.E.) or Netscape Navigator 3.0+, and ActiveX requires Explorer 3.0+ or Netscape with Active X plug-ins. The plug-ins can be obtained free from Microsoft. Both JavaScript and ActiveX are powerful tools that will be used extensively in the future at many web sites. If a link specifies that I.E. or Navigator should be used, please use ONLY that browser, or you may experience problems when loading the page.
• ActiveX Issues- Some IS departments will not allow Active X to be displayed in web browsers because there have been some security risks associated with ActiveX applications in the past. That is, unscrupulous webmasters have written small programs that caused harm to the viewers computer when they are viewed on the internet. There have been no known problems with the ActiveX applications at BioTactics. However, wherever possible an alternative in Java has also been provided (for instance the annual calendar). In truth, there are also "security" risks with Java, but few IS departments realize it, since these are not as well known.
• In order to display Active X or JavaScript applications in your browser, go to Control Panel, Internet, Internet Properties, Security, make sure Active X and Java are checked in the "Active Content" box. You may wish to disable these controls when visiting web sites of businesses you do not know well.
• Older Browsers: To improve viewing for most visitors, this site uses nested tables which may not display properly in some older browsers. We apologize to those users that have difficulty accessing or viewing pages on our site because of this special content.
