Six Volume HLC Concordance
1) Internet Explorer 6, Firefox, Opera (recommended)
For optimal performance with Internet Explorer 6, Firefox and Opera use option 1
2) Internet Explorer 7 / VISTA bug work-around (if other browsers are unavailable)
Internet Explorer 7 users, use option 2. Due to a frame-handling problem* with Microsoft’s new IE 7, we’ve had to modify our code and limit some functionality to make it work at all. While this version should work with all browsers, we feel the “framed” Tables of Contents and folio views in option 1 will be preferred by most.
If you’re new to Concording or this Concordance and wish some “Quick Start” pointers, click 3:
* Internet Explorer 7 comes with VISTA Operating Ssystem. It is part of the automatic update for the XP Operating System. Your IE 6 in XP may have been replaced by IE 7 without your even knowing it. Conventional Web Concordances do not work with Internet Explorer 7.
In the Sub-Urtext Concordance the feature which allows one to view the original photocopy side by side with the unproofed copy to check for accuracy doesn’t work with IE 7 at all. Instead of displaying the original and the copy in adjacent frames, which we feel is ideal, we’ve had to use JavaScript to put the manuscript in a pop-up window. This is sort of ok, except the window vanishes when you scroll in the copy frame. We’ve also had to put the Tables of Contents for all Concordances into JavaScript windows in both Concordances for the same reason. Again, it’s sort of ok, except for Opera where they don’t work.
Otherwise we were able to alter the code to get the same functionality in IE 7 as we have with IE 6. Only in the above mentioned features where we need to access more than one frame at the same time, has IE 7 proven ‘untweakable.’
We’ve found Internet Explorer 6 to be the fastest, with Firefox placing a close second. Firefox is slower when huge amounts of text have to be scanned. This software involves huge amounts of text!
