Did you know that PolicyMap runs best on Google’s Chrome browser? The free browser has been built by Google to accommodate websites like PolicyMap that run using lots of complex javascript. PolicyMap works on all other browsers as well (except IE6), but we’ve found that performance on Google Chrome is superior. We recommend you check it out. And it is free. Just go here to download.

We’ve had recent reports that certain features of PolicyMap are not working correctly for an Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) user.  If you are an Internet Explorer 6 user on Windows XP SP1, please note that due to Microsoft’s lifecycle policy, PolicyMap does not support this browser version. Later versions including IE7 and IE8 work great with PolicyMap.

Are you not sure what type and version of internet browser you are using?  Just open your browser used to access the web, and click on the HELP on the top of the browser and go to About [Name of Browser]. If you do not have HELP on the top, then select the browser option icon in the top right area.  “About [Name of Browser]” will display your browser type and also the version.

Find “About [Name of Browser]” on top

Find “About [Name of Browser]” from icon
