Web Builder Integrated Software Suite
Desktop & Mobile Browser Support
Our v6 content management module, calendar module, and gallery module, as well as all
content pages on
mobile-aware websites we build, now offer expanded support for desktop and mobile web
browsers. This includes full support for current versions of all the popular desktop web
browsers (Firefox 4, Safari 5, Chrome 9, and Internet Explorer 9), as well as full support for
current versions of all the popular smart mobile devices (Android 3.0 devices, Apple iOS4
devices [iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch], Blackberry OS5 devices, and Windows Phone 7
devices.)* Also includes full support for the Apple Retina display.These software modules and content pages are intended to be fully compatible with all of these browsers and devices. If you are accessing a Triskelon mobile-aware module or website using a supported device, and you experience a page rendering, functionality, or usability problem, please report it to us, describing the specific hardware, software, web address, steps leading up to the problem, and the problematic condition or error message you observed. Thank you.
Device Support Glossary
“Touch friendly”: Designed to avoid dependence on tooltips or drop-downs triggered by a mouse hover event, since touchscreen devices do not have mice. Larger buttons preferred, since fingers are less precise than mouse pointers. Right-side menus preferred, so that users do not have to reach over pages to access menus.“Mobile friendly”: Full support for smart mobile devices, as described above. Page elements sized and arranged for small screen sizes, minimizing the need to zoom and scroll horizontally. Less cluttered displays with smaller page areas and more frequent page loads.
“Desktop friendly”: Full support for desktop, laptop, and full-sized touchpad computers. Page elements sized and arranged for these devices. More complete displays with larger page areas and less frequent page loads.
“Mobile aware”: Capable of detecting smart mobile devices automatically and applying appropriate page views. Capable of switching to Mobile View upon demand. Quick Response codes may be provided to improve convenience for mobile users.
“Desktop aware”: Capable of detecting most desktop browsers automatically and applying appropriate page views. Capable of switching to Desktop View upon demand.
“Hybrid page view”: Certain mobile-unfriendly page elements (“table”, “iframe”, and “map”) may appear in the content area of some pages. Without a hybrid page view, these would require excessive maintenance (many versions of each page, one for each mobile screen size, of which there are too many). Pages of this type will be displayed using a hybrid page view, which balances the needs of mobile viewers for a smaller screen size with the need of site owners to keep site maintenance within manageable limits.

*Many other browsers and mobile devices, including some “dumb” mobile devices, may be supported, but we make no claims regarding support for these other browsers and devices. Internet Explorer users are encouraged to update to version 9 as soon as possible due to limited standards support in older versions.
