Browser compatibility problems have put a damper on the Honolulu Police Department's new initiative to deter drunk driving by posting photos of drivers arrested and charged with driving under the influence of an intoxicant.

The first set of 56 photos were posted on the department's web site (www.honolulupd.org) today around 11:30 a.m., an hour and a half later than originally scheduled. HPD officials soon discovered that the photos can only be viewed by those using Internet Explorer as their web browser. Visitors using Safari, Firefox or other browsers are only able to view the introductory text that accompanies the photos.
HPD spokesperson Caroline Slyter said technicians are addressing the problem and will have the site fully operational as soon as possible.
