Supported Browsers

Even with HTML and JavaScript standards in place, the browsers differ in many areas. IntraWeb adjusts for these differences automatically. IntraWeb generates the appropriate HTML and JavaScript code for the browser. IntraWeb even knows about certain bugs in specific versions of each browser and works around them dynamically. In other cases, output for each browser is optimized. See the section on Browser Implementations for more information.

Browser Implementations

Often, different browsers implement similar features in incompatible ways.

IntraWeb adjusts for these differences automatically. IntraWeb generates the appropriate HTML and JavaScript code for the browser. IntraWeb performs all of this transparently to you and without using Java, ActiveX, or any plug-ins.

Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer versions 5, 6, 7 are supported.
Internet Explorer 4 is not officially supported anymore. However, any HTML 3.2 application should run without any problems on Internet Explorer 4.

Netscape

Netscape 7 is supported.
Netscape 6 is not supported. The version 6 of Netscape has serious problems with HTML rendering and JavaScript implementation. A better version is available for download on the Netscape site.

Although Netscape 6 is not officially supported, most of the applications created with IntraWeb will run correctly on it. There are known problems with Netscape 6 when using partial updates, when using regions, when caching files and when trying to use the TIWMenu control. There might be, however, more issues. When developing for Netscape 6, please make sure to test your application with a newer version of Netscape (7 or greater) before searching for bugs.

Mozilla/Firefox

Mozilla is supported. Please make sure you're running the latest Mozilla update.

Opera

Opera 7 is fully supported.
Due to the amount of restrictions Opera 6 has with support for JavaScript, certain characteristics are not supported currently in Opera. Many of these have to do with Anchors and alignment. Left and Top positioning is supported with anchors, however, currently Right and Bottom are not. Other functionality is supported in Opera.

Other Browsers

Any browser that supports HTML 3.2 rendering is supported. However, HTML 3.2 is limited in many aspects, most noticeable being the lack of Javascript support.
