Check Browser link
             
  Use the link at the top of the screen to run the browser check
 
 

The Browser Checker will determine if your browser has the proper settings and plug-ins for HuskyCT to work properly

Ideally, each item in the list will show a green check mark and not a red X.

If problems are identified, two sources of help are available:
1. IRC's Browser Help and
2. Browser Tune-up Page (http://www.webct.com/tuneup).

There is also a link to the Browser Tune-up Page in the window that displays the Browser Check Results.


Help link
             
  Help links are available from every screen in HuskyCT. Clicking on this link will bring up context sensitive help.

Log out link
             
  It is important to use the Log out link to close a HuskyCT session.
