Known problems with specific browsers
It is impossible for us to test every combination of browser type, version and platform.
If you encounter any problems viewing these pages or submitting searches, please
send details to support@matrixscience.com.
Internet Explorer 5.5 (Windows)
The loading of a very large search result page is much slower in MSIE 5.5
than in either 5.0 or 6.0. If you routinely do large searches, you probably
want to upgrade or downgrade.
Konqueror 3.x (various Unix)
In the Mascot search form, the default for the MASS radio button
cannot be set to Average.
Opera 5.x (Windows)
Setting Mascot search form defaults to display the complete list
of modifications has no effect.
File upload button has to be clicked twice to fire
Security
When a search is submitted, a Mascot search form will
attempt to save the contents of the "User name" and
"Email" fields in a local cookie. This saves you having
to fill in these values for each new search. If saving a cookie
is not supported or the cookie is refused, it will be necessary
to re-enter this information for every search. The cookie is updated
each time a search is submitted, and is set to expire after one
year.
Upgrading
To get the best from this and other sites, we strongly recommend
using a "version 4" or later browser.
