Tips for Working with PISA

  • BROWSER The recommended browsers are Netscape 6+ and IE 6+. The server should work with all browsers that support a primitive Java scripting. Support of frames is not needed.

    Please make sure that your browser is set to not using the cache. Go to browser's preferences, section "Cache", and set comparison to the network as "Every time" or "Automatically"

  • BACK AND FORWARD BUTTONS Using these buttons in your browser is discouraged. You will be provided with all necessary in-screen navigation tools instead. Use of browser's navigation buttons, as well as the history bar, may result in confusion because the pages, which you see, do not exist as html documents.
  • INTERACTIVE WORK When PISA performs calculations on your requests, it displays a self-updating wait page showing the progress.

    If you do not see the progress: probably your browser reloads the wait page from the cache - please refer to section "BROWSER" above. If your browser does not allow switching the cache off, you will have to reload the wait page manually, e.g. by clicking on the "Reload" button of your browser.

  • WORKING IN PARALLEL SESSIONS You may bookmark the wait page once it is displayed. This link would then take you either to results, if those are ready, or to the progress show. Even before your query finishes, you may submit another one by simply following the corresponding link in the wait page. Results expire in 4 hours after last access to them.
  • BLANK WAIT PAGE Do not get confused if the wait page occasionally goes blank or corrupted. Simply press Shift+"Reload" button in your browser.
