BROWSER WARS - COLLAPSIBLE PANELS - SOCIAL NETWORKING TOOLS

BROWSER WARS
The three most popular internet browsers are Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox. It is impossible to ensure that every webpage will appear precisely the same in each browser ... but we try! Known issues include:

Google Chrome
Facility Map. The hyperlinked photos on the EBC Facility Map may open in an expanded window. Workaround: When a photo window opens, click on the minimize button (in the upper right corner) to shrink the window and remove all the extra white background.

Internet Explorer
Facility Map. To ensure the pop-up photos display correctly in IE 9: Tools ... Internet Options ... Tabs Settings ... select "Let Internet Explorer decide how pop-ups should open"

Recommendation: If you cannot upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 and IE 9, then at least install and begin using Google Chrome and/or Mozilla Firefox, as they are much more standards-compliant than IE 8.
