Common Problems

Netscape 6.0
Security certificate
Script Errors


 
Netscape 6.0
Netscape 6.0 has a bug that automatically selects the first radio button in every set of radio buttons when you print a page that contains a form. This bug seems to be unique to Netscape 6.0, and for completing this survey, it is recommended that you use an alternate browser.

Security Certificate
The Internet site you are trying to view uses a security certificate that was signed by an unknown authority. This page cannot be viewed. - The browser you are using probably does not have Thawte (Verisign) certificate installed. Install the Thawte root to your browser at this page:

Using Checkboxes
Selecting a check box is almost exactly like selecting a radio button. Move your mouse cursor over the check box you wish to select and click once. Check boxes work a bit differently when it comes to de-selecting it as compared to radio buttons. With check boxes one must actually re-click the selection again for it to go away because more than one check box can be selected under a single question.

Using Textboxes
To put your answer into a text box move your mouse cursor over any part of the text box and click once. Then just type in your answer using the keyboard. To delete an answer double-click in the box (the text should now be highlighted) and then press either the "Backspace" or "Delete" key. When you have the correct answer in the text box, proceed to the next question or submit button.
