Cross-browser Support Information

Highest possible cross-browser compatibility has always been one of the key goals for all SmartMenus releases. This is one of the areas where rival products can hardly compete with the SmartMenus DHTML menu / JavaScript menu.

This page contains information about the supported browser/OS combinations by the SmartMenus script.

Fully supported browsers

The following browsers are fully supported by the SmartMenus 6 script.

Browser Windows Macintosh Linux/Unix
Internet Explorer 5.0+ Yes - -
Internet Explorer 5.1 - 5.2 - Yes -
Netscape 6.0+, Firefox, Mozilla
(and all other Gecko powered browsers)
Yes Yes Yes
Safari 1.0+, OmniWeb, Shiira
(and all other WebKit powered browsers)
Yes Yes -
Opera 7.0+ Yes Yes Yes
Konqueror 3.2+ - - Yes

Partially supported browsers

The following browsers have pretty decent CSS support but due to lack of good DOM support (or some crucial CSS bugs) are not fully supported. In these browsers the main menu(s) will be styled as in the fully supported browsers but no sub menus will appear.

  • iCab 3
  • Internet Explorer 5.0 on Macintosh
  • Opera 5/6
  • Konqueror 3.0.x and 3.1.x

Other browsers

Due to the fact that the SmartMenus 6 menu definitions are embedded on the page in the form of list-based markup, the links in the menus are accessible to all other browsers not listed above (like search engines, small-screen device browsers, text-mode browsers) and assistive technology (like screen readers).
