Message: <blockquote data-quote="Michael Morris" data-source="post: 3829690" data-attributes="member: 87">Trying to anticipate some questions here.1. What Browsers will I need?For best results you will need IE 7, Firefox 2, Safari 2, or Opera 9. Some pages will eventually make user of the Flash 9 player.  Any browser capacle of implementing Javascript DOM 1 should work.2. What, no IE 6???IE 6 will work, but the framework that powers the site will refuse to send it any PNG images to IE 6 and instead send *.gif images. Though the site functions, there is a very noticable drop in image quality. Given the alternative though - the "ugly gray box" phenomena - this isn't too bad.3. What about my PDA?EN2 is almost entirely CSS2 driven. There are a few tables - this is a forum after all and listing of threads and forums are by their very nature tabular data. But unecessary tables are gone. The post bits are created entirely in CSS2.Again IE 6 suffers slightly. Occasionally fixed widths have to be used on IE 6 instead of flex widths since IE 6 doesn't support the CSS max- and min-width/height properties.  Best results will be seen in Opera 9 - here inline block element controls are fed to the browser instead of sometimes unpredictable floats. (the inline-block property is the last major remaining CSS 2.1 standard that no browser other than Opera gets right.  Opera is the only CSS 2.1 compliant browser).Not though that no browser will have a version that is illegible or unusable. Comprimises will be done that correspond to the limitations of each browser respectively.3. I turn off javascript on my browser for security.You'll have to turn it on. EN2 is largely Ajax powered.4. You mentioned FlashNo launch element will use Flash. However there are planned additions to the site that will probably be written in Actionscript - though they may as of yet be written using Ajax.Any other questions?</blockquote>
