Lawson vs. Eduphoria 01/29/16

Browser compatibility issues continue to plague all Internet users. (so don't think you're special!!) This includes websites like Lawson and Eduphoria.  

Here are some tips for surviving the "Browser Wars" that all of us experience.  Disclaimer: This info might change next week! Ha!


  • Google Chrome works fine with Eduphoria
  • Google Chrome does not work fine with Lawson

  • IE 9 and IE 11 work fine with Lawson (as long as you have set the Compatibility View settings for pasadenaisd.org)
    • Open Internet Explorer
    • Go to Tools-->Compatibility Settings-->Add pasadenaisd.org-->Close
  • IE 9 does not work with Eduphoria (whether you've adjusted the Compatibility Settings or not)
  • IE 9 does not work well with most Office 365 applications (you can use the old Outlook web app, but most of the other features don't)

HOWEVER....
  • If you set the Compatibility Settings for pasadenaisd.org (to make Lawson work), Eduphoria WILL NOT work with IE 11

So, what is an Internet user to do?
  • Use Eduphoria with Chrome
  • Use Lawson with Internet Explorer 9 or 11, as long as you set the Compatibility View
  • If you like to use Internet Explorer, consider upgrading to IE 11 so both Lawson and Office 365 will work successfully

How do you upgrade to IE 11?
  • There are many ways to do this, but you can do the following if you are able to connect to the Internet:
    • Open Internet Explorer
    • Go to Help-->Online Support
    • Click Find Downloads
    • Locate the Browser choice
