(1): Vista users need to use alternate link to access it. banner.sis.hawaii.edu/uhjpi
(2): Browser limitation is due to Discoverer and a custom JRE that must be installed to run Discoverer applets. Only certified for IE on Windows.
(3): Supplied by the vendor so information only available for browsers/versions the vendor supports. Vendor currently supports IE6.
(4): IE 6 SP2 is the browser/version recommended to users.
(5): Unit Budgeting has many modules that work fine on most browsers. However, the parts that use Discoverer are only certified for IE on Windows (See footnote 2).
(6): You must add mail.hawaii.edu to your trusted sites for it to work properly in IE7.

(1): Firefox - tabbing bypasses pull-down list; text boxes are rendered wider than in IE so requires more horizontal scrolling on some pages.
(2): Browser limitation is due to Discoverer and a custom JRE that must be installed to run applets. Only certified for IE on Windows.
(3): Supplied by the vendor so information only available for browsers/versions the vendor supports.
(4): Prints only one page even if email is longer than one page.
(5): Unit Budgeting has many modules that work fine on most browsers. However, the parts that use Discoverer are only certified for IE on Windows (See footnote 2).
