« Back to Table of ContentsPlone supports information access to its pages for all browsers, and as long as the browser isn't parsing and interpreting something it doesn't know how to handle, it's fully functional in any browser. This means you can read content, add content and do all Plone operations from all browsers - although it might be a bit more cumbersome on older browsers.You will get some additional benefits and ease of use if you have a standards-compliant browser. We have defined four levels of support, and will list some of the common browsers according to these levels, so you know what level you can expect in a particular browser.The Four Levels of Plone browser supportInformation AccessBrowser prerequisites: (X)HTML parsing, optional CSS1 supportThis enables:
