  10 <h1>Rico Browser Compatibility</h1>
  11
  12 <p>Rico 3.0 examples have been tested on the following browsers and operating systems.
  13 Rico likely works in other environments
  14 (e.g. Opera on the Mac, etc); this list
  15 just indicates where developer testing has been completed.
  16 Except where noted below, all aspects of the Rico are fully functional.

 102 <p>Notes:
 103 <ol>
 104 <li>In these configurations scrollbars are hidden when the menu is displayed
 105 (the scrollbars interfered with the menus).
 106 <li>In Opera, when using double-clicking to invoke menus, you should
 107   turn off Opera's "Double click text to display context menu" setting by
 108   going to Tools > Preferences > Advanced tab > Toolbars.
 109 <li>LiveGrid Forms is not recommended with Opera versions less than 9.5 due to a
 110 <a href="http://dowdybrown.com/dbprod/testselect.htm">bug</a>
 111 in the way it handles select boxes.
 112 <li>The production release of IE8 works correctly with Rico 2.1 in both standards and compatibility modes.
 113 With Rico 2.0, the column resizer image is not displayed in grids, but everything else works.
 114 Pre-release versions of IE8 only worked with Rico when IE8 was set to compatibility mode.
 115 </ol>
 116
 117 <p>The <a href="http://laptop.org">OLPC</a> contains a custom browser based on
 118 the Gecko layout engine. Rico runs without issue on this system.
 119
 120 <p>Firefox versions 1.x and 2.x displayed minor artifacts when a popup menu
 121 overlayed a scrollbar. This is fixed in version 3.
 122
 123 <p>In order to display properly, a browser displaying a LiveGrid must be operating in
 124 <a href="http://www.quirksmode.org/css/quirksmode.html">strict (aka standards) mode</a>.
