Information about the AOL Browser
What is the AOL Browser ?	There are many different versions of browser issued to AOL users. To date, the biggest issue is based on Internet Explorer 3.
Does it work with the 1212 online ordering program ?	Well we have good news..... Every AOL user has a separate installation of Internet Explorer (accessible from the Start menu in Win32 operating systems). This browser works well in all respects. The bad news is that that the AOL start-up window uses a distinct version of the Internet Explorer browser for accessing the web. It is very similar - to the extent that one might think they were one and the same. (To some extent they may share code). This 'internal' browser works well in browsing the site, but FAILS - as at our last test - to submit orders successfully. In fact it fails to submit even simple forms for some reason. It is a defect that has nothing whatsoever to do with javascript .
Can AOL users use other browsers ?	Yes they can fire up other browsers such as the 'external' Explorer or Netscape, if they happen to have it, once they have the connection.
CompuServe belongs to AOL. What of that ?	With tests on Compuserve software based on IE3 we had no difficulty in sending orders.
