    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 "<".

  • 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.

    I could not find or open my submitted abstract to revise.

  • In case, you had submitted the abstract on the practice page by mistake, the abstract might be erased automatically. You need to submit your abstract again on the registration page. Or check your abstract ID and password. You can not open your abstract without the correct ID and password to revise. If you input the wrong password, a message "Wrong ID No. or password" will be displayed. If this happens, check the following.


    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 ID and password are correct. Do not make mistake in the letter "l" and the number "1", nor the letter "O" and the number "0".


    If you see the message "The abstract for ID No. XXXXX cannot be found", the ID number you input does not exist. Check if you do not input 2-byte characters for the ID number. If you input the abstract on the practice page, you can not find the abstract on the registration page. You need to input the abstract again on the registration page.
