No Message on Web Page – Newer Browsers
Unable to view web pages properly in newer browsers
If your PMAPS application has recently been updated, and the pages aren’t displaying properly,
this may be due to stored browser cache memory. Your browser has a folder in which certain
items that have been downloaded are stored for future use. Graphic images (such as buttons
and icons), photos, and even entire web pages are examples of items which are saved or
cached. When visiting a webpage, your browser checks if a copy of the files on the page is in its
cache already. If so, it will save the visitor some downloading and make webpages load faster.
Some browsers refer to their cache as Temporary Internet Files. There are some situations when
bypassing your browser's cache is preferred. Just clicking the refresh button (or hitting F5) won't
be sufficient in this case, because this reloads the webpage while still using the old files from the
cache. You need to refresh your cache first!
Click on the appropriate link below for instructions on refreshing your cache.

Unable to view web pages properly in older browsers
For users on older versions of Internet Explorer, which are no longer supported by Microsfot (e.g.,
IE 9 and 10) who are not seeing the scroll bars on the search results, you may have to turn on,
then off compatibility viewing mode to reset the IE.
Compatibility Mode IE 9
In IE 9 there should be a broken document icon on the URL address bar (to the right of the
address next to the Proposal Software Inc. [US] certificate name). Click the icon to turn on/off
compatibility viewing mode for this site. The document is blue when it is turned on, white when
turned off. Turn it on and wait for the page to refresh. Then, turn it back off (ensure the icon is not
blue).
Compatibility Mode IE 10
In IE 10 there is no icon to adjust compatibility viewing, you have to click on the Tools menu and
then select the Compatibility View settings option.
