Choosing a Web browser for CCPS
WebMO Pro is the interface used in support of the computational chemistry laboratory.
WebMO is primarily a Java-based web tool, which should be accessible by most
modern web browsers. If you are using computers that are particularly old,
it might be possible that you will not be able to access the server! If this
is the case, contact Bob Gotwals at
NCSSM, we'll try to provide some assistance! If you are using a Windows PC
computer, you should be able to access the server from all browsers, including
Internet Explorer (IE). However, we recommend Mozilla Firefox for both PCs
and Macintosh computers.
Download Mozilla Firefox
NOTE FOR WINDOWS Internet Explorer users! It is sometimes the case that animations
do not work in IE on Windows machines. You should try to upgrade your Java
Virtual Machine to version 1.5.0. To do this, go to
the Java download page,
scroll down to "JDK 5.0 Update 11", and accept the license agreement. Install
this upgrade (I prefer to use the offline version, click on that, run the installer),
and reboot your machine.
For Macintosh computers running OS X, we recommend either Firefox or Safari
as web browsers. Microsoft IE for Macintosh does not render the job manager
correctly.
Download Safari from Apple
