A workaround for viewing My Account in Opera

Thanks to Andrew for suggesting a workaround for Opera users when using the Review My Account screen.

1. Go to our catalogue in Opera at http://swft.erlc.sirsidynix.net.au.
2. Go to Tools > Quick Preferences > Edit Site Preferences in the browser menu at the top.
3. Click on the Network tab
4. Select either Identify as Firefox or Identify as Internet Explorer from the drop-down box. Also works if you select Mask.
   

I tested it with Opera 10 and it works fine. You'll be able to see the checkouts and holds.

Cheers, Maryanne

Opera & the catalogue upgrade

There is a known issue with the Opera browser when you're on the My Account - Review My Account page all you see are the tabs Account Summary, Checkouts, Holds. The rest of the information is hidden.

I have passed on the feedback that several of our members using Opera are having difficulties with the new layout. SirsiDynix, the software provider, list the following supported browsers - Internet Explorer 6 & 7, Firefox 2x & 3x, Safari on a Mac. I suggest trying one of these. I've got Internet Explorer 8 & Firefox 3 on my PC at work and it works on those. I've also tried it out on Google Chrome and although it isn't supported it seems to work fine.

Download Internet Explorer
Download Mozilla Firefox
Download Safari
