Rico Grid Browser Compatibility

Rico 2.0 grid examples have been tested on the following browsers and operating systems. LiveGrid and SimpleGrid likely work in other environments (e.g. MS Vista, Opera on the Mac, etc); this list just indicates where developer testing has been completed. Except where noted below, all aspects of the grid are fully functional.

  Operating System
Browser Windows XP Macintosh 10.4 Linux (Knoppix 5)
IE6    
IE7    
FF 1.5/2.0 1
FF 3.0 (alpha)    
Opera 9 1,2,3    
Safari 2.0    
Safari 3.0 (beta)    
Camino   1  
Konqueror 3.5    

Notes:

  1. In these configurations scrollbars are hidden when the menu is displayed (the scrollbars interfered with the menus).
  2. In Opera, when using double-clicking to invoke menus, you should turn off Opera's "Double click text to display context menu" setting by going to Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced tab -> Toolbars.
  3. LiveGridForms is not recommended with Opera due to a bug in the way it handles select boxes. Good news! This bug appears to be fixed in version 9.5.

The OLPC contains a custom browser based on the Gecko engine. Rico runs without issue on this system.

Firefox versions 1.x and 2.x displayed minor artifacts when a popup menu overlayed a scrollbar. This appears to be fixed in version 3.
