Problems With Interactive Data Interface

Point of contact: NCEP.EMC.waves@NOAA.gov
Last update: September 01, 2006
MMAB page | Main wave model page
To use this interface, a JavaScript capable web browser will is needed, typically Netscape Navigator 2.0 (or higher) or Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 (or higher). If this interface does not work, or even crashes you browser, first make sure you have a sufficiently modern browser installed. If necessary, update your browser. Furthermore, JavaScript needs to be explicitly enabled on your browser. We have noticed problems with loading for Netscape version 6. We have presently no time line for fixing this problem. For now, use the tabular or text interface if you use Netscape version 6.
 
This interface may results in an occasional 'JavaScript error' in the status line of the browser, due to you clicking on a page element while the web page was still updating. Just hitting "refresh" will not help. Instead, go back to the appropriate main wave model page and re-enter the interface through its link.
 
The interactive data interface as of yet does not work properly with some recent versions of Internet Explorer. If output for an output location is requested by clicking on the output location on the map, and when this results in the opening of new browser window(s), subsequent map requests may result in a JavaScript error. The solution is to refresh the main page and then click on ’go’ again. This procedure may need to be repeated.
 
If you cannot get the interactive interface to work, try the tabular or text interface.
