exp 14 on-line pre and post-lab instructions and specific problems

[robert zellmer]

Exp 14 has an on-line pre-lab and post-lab data-entry.
This one shouldn't have problems since it's been around
for awhile.

Instructions were sent earlier this semester at the start of the
semester and before exp 5.  If you don't remember them go
back and read them.

In this on-line data entry pre-lab there are some question choices which 
are
quite long.  The choices come up in a box.  The box might extend beyond
the window you have.  This doesn't seem to be a problem in Firefox or
Chrome running on my PCs (running Win 7 or Win 10).  It seems it may be
a problem on a Mac.  Try it with the browser window full screen. Hopefully
this works.  I can't test it as I don't have a Mac. I can't tell you 
whether
this will work correctly on the iPad, even in Firefox, since I haven't 
tried it.

I will reiterate what I've said before.  Use FIREFOX.  I just entered a 
number
into one of the boxes is Firefox as ".222" even though it is supposed to 
be entered
as "0.222".  As soon as I did this and clicked in a new box, the 
previous box was
outlined in red to let me know there was a problem.  This behavior does 
not occur
in Chrome.  In both Firefox and Chrome, if a drop-down box choice hasn't 
been
made or the format for a number is wrong they will complain and tell you 
where
the problem is when you try to submit the form.  I can not verify this 
in Safari
on a Mac or iPad in either Chrome or Firefox since I don't have a Mac or 
iPad.

I've got a few follow-up e-mails to send about sig. fig. in logarithms
and other things concerning exp 14.
