Re: [AFMUG] Require Recent Web Browser?

Yes, that would be perfect. Actually what I want to use is a java applet for part of the interface and webassembly for part. I think that all browsers stopped supporting java applets before they added webassembly. So you'll have to install both an ancient browser from around 2015 and a modern

Re: [AFMUG] Require Recent Web Browser?

As I see it, the only time it might be a problem, is if I'm using a field laptop that lives in the truck and doesn't get updated very often... but as long as the basic functions work with old browsers, it really shouldn't be a big deal. On Thu, Mar 15, 2018 at 10:38 PM, Darin Steffl

Re: [AFMUG] Require Recent Web Browser?

So what's the exact question Forrest? How many of us are using outdated browsers? I'm betting that the 87% number looks more like 97% within this group. The other question is what portion of your user base is not on this list? bp On 3/14/2018 4:49 PM, Forrest

Re: [AFMUG] Require Recent Web Browser?

Do like all other developers make it the standard because it will change again in a year,but wont be a standard till the next. If folks are still running XP then it may force them to find a better solution.  I have used Firefox for as long as I can remember and only because I live in a linux

Re: [AFMUG] Require Recent Web Browser?

Personally, I'm less concerned about requiring a recent browser as I am about requiring an antique one. I have a Windows XP VM with IE6 just to manage certain old devices that won't work in a recent browser. If you have some Timelord magic to make an application that will work in the recent

Re: [AFMUG] Require Recent Web Browser?

We have to maintain so many versions of web browsers ro access all the gear we touch, i dont think its a big deal. Edge has turned out to be a good browser so far. Is this included? Know what you should do is make it require a new browser but toss in some really old java stuff. Everybody loves

Re: [AFMUG] Require Recent Web Browser?

You are selling a product to technology folks. Requiring the latest browser shouldn't be an issue. Although, I'm sure they are some WISPs still running their business on XP. On Wed, Mar 14, 2018 at 7:49 PM, Forrest Christian (List Account) < li...@packetflux.com> wrote: > A bit of a survey

Re: [AFMUG] Require Recent Web Browser?

Don't worry about the 5-10% of people running old browsers. It's easy to tell customers to use a modern browser to gain full functionality. It's easy and free to upgrade browsers. On Wed, Mar 14, 2018 at 6:49 PM, Forrest Christian (List Account) < li...@packetflux.com> wrote: > A bit of a survey
