Scooby Browser Support



Browsers supported by Scooby will ultimately be determined by both browser share among the targeted audience and the level of AJAX/DHTML functionality provided. For example, Apple's Safari browser has a sufficient level of use among Scooby's target audience to merit support, but offers significantly more limited AJAX functionality than either Firefox or IE 6. IE 5/5.5 have a reasonable AJAX implementation, but their CSS issues and limited penetration with the target audience might make them browsers we don't want to support.
