AJAX Framework Browser Compatibility Matrix

Musing from Mars has published an update of his Ajax Framework Browser compatibility review. It's not a framework review but rather a rating of how compatible these frameworks are with all of the major browser versions. His grading scale is simple: the more versions of browsers you support, the better. See below.

A - IE 6, Firefox 1.0, Safari 1.2, Opera, Other DOM-compliant
B - IE 6, Firefox 1.x, Safari 2.x, Other DOM-compliant
C - IE 6, Firefox 1.x, Other DOM-compliant
D - IE 6, Firefox 1.5
E - IE 6

I'm not sure I agree with his grading scale (what grade does a framework that only supports Opera get?), but no matter. Some information is better than none. Some of the highlights? Echo2: A; ZK: D+ (Safari problems and insufficient testing); Tibco GI: E (tied to IE with very lame Firefox support).

  2. Not sure I agree with the grading either but the article does include videos of how different browsers represent different things - which is very useful indeed!

  4. There are tools available nowadays for browser compatibility testing which can reveal the areas that are incompatible across browsers. infact when i have to fix BCT problems, i found http://www.essentiabct.com very useful tool.
