Browser Independence - Ensuring your users can use their browser

When looking at browser support it is important to differentiate between the core system that is used by your content editors, administrators and development team, and the final publication that you may be providing to your end users.

A Contensis website supports any browser that is possible with your XHTML implementation.

As Contensis fully supports the latest web standards, the browser support for end users is in essence down to the implementation of your templates and HTML. It is important, however, to remember that you may be using standard Contensis web controls or Widgets, as some people like to call them.

At the core of our development process we ensure that all our web controls are written in such a way that they will be supported by all mainstream browsers.

Often, however, the simple support for these browsers is not enough. We test our controls with and without JavaScript, as well as with and without CSS to ensure that at every stage, wherever a control is used, it will be accessible and useable. We also take great care to ensure that the code produced by our controls is logical, consistent and semantically correct.

 

Having code written in this way ensures that it will fit beautifully into the templates and designs that modern web development teams are producing.
