Supported Browsers

CommonSpot’s content management interface is entirely browser-based; there is no need to install or maintain client software. Pages are viewable from most standard browsers including Mozilla-based browsers and Microsoft Internet Explorer.

To author using CommonSpot, you must use one of the following Web browsers:

With this release of CommonSpot, you can use Microsoft Windows Vista 32-bit and 64-bit computers to contribute content.

Since the release of Version 4.5, CommonSpot supports full authoring capabilities from Windows, Mac, Linux, and Solaris computers. The authoring and approval functionality is nearly identical across the browsers.

There are differences in the behavior of the WYSIWYG rich text editor:  For security reasons, Mozilla-based browsers disallow cut, copy, and paste operations unless you configure the browser to explicitly grant JavaScript-access to the Clipboard.  See support information at mozilla.org and the Rich Text Editor chapter in this guide for more information.
