Oracle E-Business Suite Technology

Editor Mar 2, 2007 Update:  Added latest browsers to this summary, although readers are always well-served to check Certify (on Metalink) and Note 285218.1 for the latest versions certified.

Editor Nov 27, 2006 Update:  Added latest Safari certification information.

I find it encouraging that the browser wars aren't over yet.  This is partly due to my inherent fondness for the underdog.  I also strongly believe that the lessons that biologists have learned about biodiversity and monocultures' susceptibility to disease apply to software ecosystems, too.

In that spirit, it's worth pointing out that the following browsers are supported with the E-Business Suite Release 11 for Windows XP and Windows 2000 desktop clients:

• Firefox 1.0.4 and later
  
• Firefox 1.5 and later
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 for WinXP clients only
  
• Mozilla 1.7.5 and later
• Netscape 7.2

For Mac OS X clients, the following is supported:

• Safari 2.0.4 and later
  
• Safari 1.3.2 and later
  
• Note:  Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x has been desupported by Microsoft
  

All of these browsers have their own set of product-specific prerequisite patches, JInitiator requirements, and so on, which suggests that a careful review of the documentation below is always a good exercise if you're considering supporting new browsers on your corporate desktops.
