Why do I only see refcodes beginning with 'A' when I browse the database?

Solution

Note: The following information applies only to WebCSD version 1 (legacy WebCSD).

The scrollable list of refcodes in the Browse Database section has been designed such that it only loads the set of refcodes beginning with one particular letter at any time. This has been done to avoid over-loading the Javascript menu and also to make scrolling through the list easier and more useful. As such, when you first enter the Browse Database page, the browser will be showing only the refcodes starting with the letter 'A'. The browser can be prompted to go to a particular section of the database by typing letters into the textbox - as you type, the browser will jump to the most relevant refcode.​
