Frequently Asked Questions

How is scripting used on the PLANTS Web site?

Frequently Asked Questions | USDA PLANTS
The PLANTS Web site uses JavaScript for greater versatility. For example, we use it for some form validation, to display help screens, and to maintain your name searches from page to page. In addition, the Distribution Update requires JavaScript. Except for the Distribution Update module, the site will still be useable if scripting is turned off, but expect some decreased functionality.

What type of "cookies" are used on the PLANTS Web site?

Frequently Asked Questions | USDA PLANTS
We use only "session" cookies on the PLANTS Web site. These cookies are temporary files that are used to keep track of information as you move from page to page while you're at PLANTS. They cease to exist when you close your browser and cannot ever be shared outside of PLANTS. We do not use "persistent" cookies at PLANTS. Persistent cookies store information on your computer for some defined time period and remain on your computer even when you close your browser.

How are style sheets used on the PLANTS Web site?

Frequently Asked Questions | USDA PLANTS
We use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to format the site consistently with our fonts, font sizes, and colors. For best results your browser must recognize style sheets and be set to accept our style sheet in particular. This will normally be the case if you are using Internet Explorer. The PLANTS site may be viewed without style sheets enabled or with your own style sheets, but there will be some font, color, and spacing differences.

What are cookies used for on the PLANTS Web site?

Frequently Asked Questions | USDA PLANTS
We use cookies on the PLANTS Name Search and the Distribution Update. On the PLANTS Name Search at the top left of every page, the name type and the name you enter are stored as cookies. This allows you to move between the different sections of PLANTS and see the last name you entered in the Name Search at the top of every page. On the Distribution Update, a cookie sets a unique identifier for you that is used as you submit data and view reports.

How can I directly link to the PLANTS database from my Web site and display a PLANTS Profile Page?

Frequently Asked Questions | USDA PLANTS
General instructions for accessing a Plant Profile Page are outlined below. We ask that you retain the PLANTS navigation frameset and clearly specify that your link is going to the USDA PLANTS Database. A direct query to display a Plant Profile assumes that a valid PLANTS Symbol is included in the URL. The general form is (with no breaks): where “XXXXX” is a valid symbol in upper case.

Which browser/version should I use to view the PLANTS Web site?

Frequently Asked Questions | USDA PLANTS
This site is best viewed with Internet Explorer version 4.0 or greater, with JavaScript and cookies, style sheets, and frames enabled. Although we haven't tested them, later versions of Opera should work. Older browsers and WebTV may be used to view the site, but expect some functionality and/or formatting to be lost.

What happens if I disable cookies or reject cookies at the PLANTS Web site?

Frequently Asked Questions | USDA PLANTS
The Name Search will revert to its default blank state as you move between different sections of the PLANTS Web site, but this should not impair your use of the site. The Distribution Update will not function unless your browser accepts our cookies. Remember that JavaScript must be enabled in order to use cookies. See "Should my browser be configured to use scripting?" above for more information.
