Troubleshooting

Frames are too spread out or overlap

The Borland Online Books are optimized for 3 screen resolutions:

To get the best frame display, select one of these resolutions, or resize the frames to fit your screen. 

Pages are blank

If you open the browser on the Online Books web page and the frames are blank, you probably are not using a browser that supports frames. Either update your browser or open the individual contents and index files.

Nothing happens when you select a book

JavaScript may be disabled in your browser. Make sure JavaScript is enabled in your browser's preferences.

Sometimes, clicking on the first book in the drop-down list doesn't select it. Try selecting a different book, then reselecting the first book.
