These notes will help you understand what the site requires, how it was designed and some basic usage tips.

• The site was written using HTML 3.2 and frames. Your browser must be capable of rendering this version of HTML. If you have trouble viewing the format of the site, we suggest you upgrade your browser to a recent version if possible.
  
  
• Some portions of the site use Dynamic HTML (DHTML) extensions to provide 'mouse-over' or 'hover' effects. If your browser does not support DHTML, your page will still appear correctly but will not support the enhanced effects. You will still be able to view and navigate the site. Some pages contain JavaScript code to simplify navigation. Alternate navigation methods are provided where JavaScripts are used.
  
  
• The browser window is split in two parts using Frames. The left frame contains the Table of Contents. The right frame will contain the pages in this site. For example, the right frame now contains the help page for layout (this page). Your browser must support frames for the site to display properly. If there is enough need, we will offer a no-frames version at a later date.
  
  
• Every page in the right frame has a common header. The title of the page is displayed in navy blue. The title will also show which area of the site you are in. For example, the HelpDesk pages are all prefixed with HelpDesk:
  
  
• Every page in the right frame has a common footer which displays a copyright message, the page name and the last update date. If you find a problem with a page, please send an email to our Webmaster. Including the page name and update date will speed our evaluation of the problem.
  
  
• Some browsers do not always refresh the pages automatically. If you see a notice that a page has changed but you still see only the old content, use the browser's Refresh or Reload button. That will usually resolve the problem. If not, you may have to adjust your browser or proxy settings. You should report those problems to your System Administrator or Network Support Group.
  
  
• Each side can scroll independently. When needed scroll bars will appear indicating that the content did not fit completely within the viewing area.
  
  
• These instructions will show you how to print a web page.
  1. Place your mouse in the frame you wish to save
  2. Single right-click on the page (anywhere will do)
  3. A context-menu will appear near the mouse. Select Print and follow the Windows dialog messages.
  
  
• The border (divider) between the left and right frames is adjustable. If you find that the left portion is too small, you can adjust it by doing the following.
  1. Move your mouse over the border until the cursor changes to a two-headed arrow pointing left and right.
  2. Depress and hold the left mouse button.
  3. Move the mouse left or right until the size is correct for your machine.
  4. Release the left mouse button to set the new size.
  5. To return the border to the default position, press the browser's Refresh button.
  
  
  
• Whenever you follow a link that takes you out of the ECSI site, the new site will be displayed in a new browser window. Using this technique, you won't loose your place on the ECSI site while your browsing another site. Users of Windows 95 running under low memory conditions should be careful not to open too many additional browser windows concurrently. Each window will take additional resources and may cause your system to slow dramatically. If you have lots of free memory, this note probably doesn't apply.
  
  
• You should be familiar with your web browsers features and capabilities. If not, try looking on the vendor's site for instructions. The on-line help file available from the menu bar usually includes instructions and a tutorial. You can find the vendor's pages here.
