SECTION V. Web Publications Conventions
R. Usability by various browsers/versions/technologies
STANDARD:
All institutional Web sites should be tested for compatibility and ease of use on Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Mozilla FireFox at the minimum.
Recommendation:
In addition, institutional Web sites should be tested on different versions of Mozilla FireFox and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Browser and version detection codes should be included in any Web page that uses elements that may not work with older browsers (for example, JavaScript). Give consideration to testing on PC and Mac operating systems. Also consider testing sites/pages using connections of varying speeds (for example, phone modem, cable, T1) to see whether pages take too long to load.
