Supported browsers

This new version of the SHAPE application requires a modern, standards-compliant, browser to run. We recommend the latest versions of Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera on a PC or Mac, or Internet Explorer v8 on a PC. The application will run in a basic mode in Internet Explorer v7 but unfortunately it's not been possible to ensure compatibility with Internet Explorer v6. Support for Internet Explorer v9 will be coming in due course.

We detect that you are using unknown so you should be fine.

You need a screen with a resolution of at least 1024x768 pixels, preferably 1280x800 pixels. The application will use as much screen space as available to maximise the map display area and we recommend running it full screen mode in Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer v7 and v8.

We detect that your screen is capable of displaying x pixels – your browser doesn't have a full screen mode.
