Technical requirements

Main Page > User manual > Overview > Technical requirements

The DCB has been designed with minimal assumptions about the technology available to users and contributors. All that is required is access to the internet and a web browser. Any web browser will do. The DCB, however, does rely on "client-side" JavaScript to achieve certain effects when displaying content:


 * On edit pages, fields are grouped into information areas that are "collapsible" (fields can be displayed or hidden)
 * Some drop-down menus are collapsible (options in the list can be expanded to display more options or collapsed to hide them)

Older browsers that do not support JavaScript will not be able to view these effects. They are still able to access the DCB unimpaired; it just won't look as nice. It is recommended, therefore, that users employ modern web browsers that support JavaScript (e.g. Firefox x+, Internet Explorer x+, Safari x+).
