Javascript

Some parts of the Autotrain site require JavaScript support. Please ensure that you have this function enabled (see you browsers help files).
We have had reports that some anti-virus products are disabling javascript functions required by the autotrain website, this has been known to
affect the registration form. However, normal popup ad blockers should not cause any problems.
Note : Javascript may also be referred to as ‘Active Scripting’ or ‘ECMA script’ by your browsers documentation.

Java Applets

Some elements of this site require Java support. Please ensure you have this enabled.
If your browser does not have java support, you can download the Java virtual machine
which should work in most modern web browsers.
Note : Older versions of Internet explorer may refer to the Java Virtual Machine as the
Microsoft Virtual Machine. This version of Java is obsolete and you should upgrade using the link above.

Error Messages

If you get pages containing the message ‘Internal Server errors’ or ‘unable to process directive’ within them, this usually means that we are updating some part
of the code that runs the ‘back-end’ of the website and have re-initialised the web-server. Usually if you hit reload after 2-3 seconds, the problem will go away.
If the problem persists, then please report it to us.
