Solution
Web Applications
You can use different functions, depending on the type of browser. A browser identification is carried out on both the server and the client. For this reason, it is important that proxys or firewalls do not make any major changes to the user agent ID in the request.
           Requirements for an unlimited range of functions
                     The full range of functions with context menus, snippet operations and the interactive navigation bar with maps can only be accessed using current browsers that support the DOM level 2 (with dynamic generation of DOM objects), ECMA-262 script, HTML 4.0 and CSS 1.0. The reference browsers here are the Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE) and the Netscape Navigator (NS) in the current Windows implementations (MSIE 6.x and NS 6.x). Instances of these browsers on other systems such as Apple Macintosh or Linux may behave differently.
           Minimum requirements
                     Web Applications can be used with browsers that meet HTML 3.2 standards and support basic CSS 1.0 functions.
           Browser variants and range of functions
                     Full context menu range of functions, flicker-free navigation and ad-hoc BEx Query Designer: IE 6.x, 5.x, NS 6.x
                    Context menu, but no dynamic loading of hierarchy branches with the Web item "Hierarchical context menu": IE 4.x, NS 4.x
                     Context menu display as its own Web page: Pocket Internet Explorer (mobile devices with Windows CE), Accessibility mode (suitable for the visually-impaired)
                     No context menu, only limited navigation via icons:
                     Very old browser Web (IE 3.0, Netscape 3), mobile devices (Palm, EPOC...)
                     Limited navigation: WAP-enabled mobile telephones and i-Mode-enabled mobile telephones
Mobile-Intelligence-Rendering
Stylesheet information and scripts are embedded in the document on the server.
EPOC: No script.
WAP: WML instead of HTML. WBMPs for charts.
i-Mode: CHTML instead of HTML.
Web templates that contain corresponding Web items have only limited functions on the respective browsers.
For more details on the area of mobile intelligence, see Note 453142 "Information about BW BEx Mobile Intelligence"
Repository metadata
The text part of the Metadata repository is based on HTML 3.2 and therefore can be used all conventional browsers with version >= 3.0.
However, the graphics (InfoCube star schema, data flow, query preview), are in a XML-based format (VML) which until now was only supported by Internet Explorer Version 5.
Business Explorer Browser in the Web
Java script is used to display the tree. The required Web Browsers are Netscape >= 4.6 and Microsoft IE >= 5.0.
For BW 3.5 and higher, the compatible web browser version is IE>= 5.5.
