C.3 Browser Usage
The following general operation notes apply when using the SEA web interface:
- If a screen does not automatically refresh itself, click the link that opened the screen again to manually refresh it.
- If the web interface is not functioning correctly, click the refresh button. This will reset the display and open the about screen in the display frame. (If you are using Mozilla re-login to the web interface; refer to Section C.4.3)
- Do not bookmark the web interface after logging on under a username. For example, bookmarking a URL such as to http://nodename:7902/?profile=user may result in errors. To bookmark the web interface, bookmark the logon screen (http://nodename:7902). This is true for all browsers.
- If you leave an active web interface session to visit a different web page and the logout time expires, clicking on the back button to return to your web interface session will result in multiple errors. In order to logon again, return to the root address of the node (http://nodename:7902) and repeat the logon procedure.
- Under normal operation, the color of hyper-text links changes after the link is visited. SEA presents dynamic data that is frequently updated, however, the links used to access the information do not change. As a result of this presentation, the color of links in the navigation tree may be erratic or incorrect. In most cases, the color of visited links will not change.
- Because the web pages that make up the interface are generated and refreshed dynamically, do not use the browser's back or forward buttons.
