Software Requirements

September 12, 2005 22:45, contributed by: admin

Any computer with a reasonably current  web browser should be able to run the Crossword Designer.

The following software versions are required:

  • Browsers:
    • Firefox 1.x and Netscape 7.2 and higher. We recommend these browsers because of their speed, stability and standards compliance.
    • Internet Explorer 6 or higher. Prior versions (especially 5.5) will not work.
    • Opera 7.2.
  • Browsers must allow Javascript  from our site to work for the Crossword Designer to function. If you are running one the browsers above, the Javascript version should be good enough. Otherwise, we require Javascript 1.2 or later.
  • Screen resolution. In order to enjoy the larger crosswords, we really recommend running at 1024x768, or preferrably, higher.
  • We strongly recommend not adjusting the zoom of the browser or changing stylesheets. Most likely things will not look right.
  • Operating System. No requirements. However, support for Unix/Linux and Mac/OS is forthcoming.
