Help with viewing panoramas

This site includes interactive panoramic photographs of a forest. In these photographs, you can zoom in and out and pan around 360 degrees. Also, by clicking with your mouse on some of the trees in the photograph, you will see a description of that tree´s species, size, and timber volume. Instructions are provided next to each panorama on how to use these features.

This document explains what to do if your computer does not display the panoramas correctly.

Part 1 - Browser Security Settings

Internet Explorer

Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Custom Level.

  • Java VM must not be disabled in this menu.
  • Under Scripting, Active Scripting must not be disabled
  • Under Scripting, Scripting of Java Applets must not be disabled

In Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced.

The checkboxes under Microsoft VM and/or Java(Sun) (if you have this) must be checked. "Enable Java Console" does not have to be checked.

Netscape

Go to Tools -> Options -> Site Controls

'Enable Javascript' and 'Enable Java' must be checked.

Firefox

Go to Tools -> Options -> Web Features -> 'Enable Java' and 'Enable Javascript' must be checked

Part 2 - Firewall Settings

If you are using Zone Labs Integrity Firewall or a similar firewall you may have Java and/or Javascript blocked. Symptoms of this setting are a partially loaded page and/or your browser has frozen and will not respond. Enabling your firewall to accept Java and Javascript may still not work, so we recommend you turn Zone Labs Firewall off while viewing this module. For further instruction , click here.

The bottom line....

If you do not wish to turn off your firewall or adjust browser settings, you can view the non-panoramic site.
