FAQs
If you experience a problem or questions about EMMA please read this before sending an email
Browsers
- Can I use my favourite browser ?
Yes, as long as your favourite browser is one of the following:
- Mozilla 1.6 and higher
- Netscape 7 and higher
- Firefox
- Galeon
- Konqueror
All of these are available free of charge for many operating systems.We recommend to use the Firefox browser.
- Why can't I use my favourite web-browser XYZ (eg. IE from M$)?
We currently do not support all existing browsers. EMMA does not function with or looks ugly with at least:
- Netscape 4 and less
- MS IE
- lynx ;)
Trying to support more different browsers while providing a high level of interactivity requires much more effort for testing and web/javascript development. Although there are some 'standards' each vendor has its slightly different interpretation of what this 'standard' means. We decided to spare us some time which can be better invested into new features and interactivity instead of supporting any of those 'standard' browsers.
If you want to use EMMA please feel free to download and install one of the suported browsers.
