Browser Details
info.com is designed to work with the latest versions of the most
popular web browsers: Microsoft Internet Explorer (Windows only) or
Firefox (all operating systems.) Here is a complete list of what we
expect to work:
A note about web accelerators: these are becoming very
popular among dial-up users. However, there are a number of web
accelerators out there that are extremely buggy; they basically
corrupt the complex HTML that info.com uses for flight results.
If you are using a web accelerator and are having trouble getting
results try the following:
- Turn off the web accelerator.
- If that doesn't work, use this link for info.com: secure mode to bypass the
accelerator.
- If either of the above helps you, please report the model and version number
of your web accelerator to us, so we can work with the manufacturer to
fix the problems.

Some users have reported weird problems with IE. The primary
problem they have is that results start to appear and then vanish. In
general, this is caused by problem with Javascript. Sometimes
popup-blockers and anti-adware programs corrupt the Javascript that
comes from info.com. However, sometimes the Microsoft Windows Script
Engine has become broken or corrupt. The solution is to reinstall
the script engine from Microsoft. Use
this link to download and install it, and read about the problems

Important: in your Opera preferences, do not use the
setting "open popups in the background". Instead use "block unwanted
popups". If you use the background setting, no flight results will
ever appear. info.com is working with Opera Software to resolve this
issue (01-mar-2006). |
