+===== Why is the Autocompleter not working for me? =====
+No suggestions shown while typing may be due to the following:
+  * No matching name or e-mail address are found in the physics directory
+  * JavaScript is disabled in your web browser, or you are using a web browser which does not support the Autocompleter. Try the [[http://www.physics.umn.edu/auth/jstest.html|JavaScript Test]] to determine if your browser is JavaScript capable.
+===== What if my browser does not support the Autocompleter? =====
+The textbox can still be used to specify physics people even if your browser does not support the Autocompleter. Simply identify the user using one of the supported formats:
+  * Lastname, Firstname
