Browser Compatibility:
RichTextEditor control will automatically determine the browser that has requested the page and render the appropriate solution for that browser. However, some control features cannot be rendered on older browsers.
Uplevel Browsers
Browsers are split into two distinctive groups: "uplevel" (newer versions) and "downlevel" (earlier versions). Uplevel browsers are defined as IE 11, all Internet Explorer versions from 6.0 up on Windows, Firefox 2.0+, Chrome, Mozilla 1.3+ , Netscape 7+, Opera 9.x and Safari (1.3+). This includes Macintosh and Linux. RichTextEditor will render rich UI in uplevel browsers.
Windows (all) | Mac OS X/Linux/Unix |
---|---|
Internet Explorer 11 |
Chrome |
Downlevel Browsers
Downlevel Browsers are split into different groups as well. By further determining browser capabilities, RichTextEditor may render as simple UI, BBCode Editor, Mobile UI(iPad, iPhone, Android) or a regular textarea.
Render Mode | Browser Capabilities |
---|---|
Mobile UI | Browsers of iPad, iPhone, Android or other mobile devices. |
Simple UI | Browsers(IE 5, Firefox 1.0, Netscape 7.1, Safari 1.3, Netscape 7.1) have basic WYSIWYG support. |
BBCode | Browsers support Javascript. |
Textarea | None of the above. |
Keep in mind that you don't need a supported browser to see HTML pages generated
using Rich Text Editor, you just need a supported browser to edit with Rich Text
Editor.
Rich Text Editor is pure JavaScript and HTML in the browser, it requires no browser
plug-ins, ActiveX controls or Java Applets.
