perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[jim warner <>]

Short answer -- its a pop up blocker that is on by default.  There is no 
ability to set a per site exception that gets remembered.  Perfsonar is the 
first application I've encountered where this is an issue.  I am no 
javascript expert.  

In my view, the way the throughput screen works with firefox on a pc isn't 
particularly friendly, either.  If you looked at a graph already by filling 
out the form and now you want to go back and look at the same graph again, it 
is hard to do.  You need to first select a different graph, wait for the 
display you don't want to render and then go back to select the time scale 
you want.

Thanks.
