The 126th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery
Abstract Submission

1.

After I submitted an abstract, I found my abstract truncated in the middle of the body on Web browser.

Please find a 1 byte character "<" in the abstract.
This character is sometimes recognized as an HTML tag, so that some Web browsers do not display the words following it. You need to replace "<" by "&lt;".
This will not happen on the newly developed browsers which automatically differentiate a character "<" from an HTML tag. We, however, strongly recommend not to use a 1 byte character "<", because the automatic detection feature of the browser is not always guaranteed. It is wise to use "&lt;" instead of "<".

2.

The connection to my Internet provider is terminated automatically when I am taking time to type in or edit my abstract. or I would like to save the connection time to my Internet provider to avoid a costly telephone bill.

You can use Cut & Paste to put your abstract into the submission page.
Before connecting to the provider, create your abstract with a title, authors, and institutions using any word processing application, and check it carefully. Then, open the connection to the submission page and paste the information on it.

I could not open my submitted abstract to revise.

1. Password is case-sensitive. Check that capital letters in your password, and also check whether caps lock is on or off.
2. Check if you input 2-byte characters in your password. We do not recommended you to use 2-byte characters in the password.
3. Make sure your submission number and password are correct. Do not make mistake in the letter "l" and the number "1", nor the letter "O" and the number "0".

When I reconfirm my abstract after making some revisions, I found the abstract reverted back to its original state without the revisions.

Check the following:

1. The Web browser may have the original data cached into your computer. Click on the [Reload] button on the browser to get the updated abstract.
2. Did you click the [Confilrm to submit] button to register your revision? In this case, you need to revise again, and do not forget to click the [Confilrm to submit] button.

There is a lot of items to be input such as the names of co-authors and institutions.
Do I register an incomplete abstract for the later revision? Or everything I input will be lost and I am required to start over from the beginning to register.
