Applies to:

Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

This document describes how to circumvent a problem with DOP display and Internet Explorer version 8 or
Firefox version 3.2.07.

Fix

Problem:
When using Internet Explorer version 8 (IE8) the DOP “FRU Status” display flashes. The display flashes frequently enough to be unusable. A second symptom is that the buttons on the displays are smaller – still fully functional but smaller (not a significant concern). These symptoms are seen most frequently when using DOP via SDP but can also be seen when using the 'localhost' connection via some other path (intranet, switches, etc.).

Workaround for IE8
IE8 includes the ability to run the browser in Compatibility View which causes IE8 to display the content as though it were an older version of Internet Explorer.
To enable Compatibility View:
   1. Click on Tools
   2. In the drop down menu that appears click on Compatibility View
Once the workaround has been applied in IE8 it will remember to use Compatibility View the next time you access that site. Consequently you may only have to enable Compatibility View a couple times (for site “127.0.0.1” and for “localhost”) and then find that future connections will not be a problem due to the fact that IE8 remembers how to display those sites.

Workaround for Firefox
Upgrade to Firefox version 3.5.11

Fix:
No fix is planned as of the time of this writing.
