Oracle Instant Portal supports the use of the following browsers:
Netscape 7.2 or later
Internet Explorer 6.0 or later
Mozilla Firefox 1.0.4 or later
It is preferred that you use Internet Explorer to edit and manage your portal. Although Netscape and Firefox work well for viewing pages, there are some known issues regarding their performance while editing, especially where tables are concerned. In addition, when adding text items, you'll find that the HTML source looks different in Mozilla than it does in Internet Explorer.
To ensure that your browser's Back button behaves as expected, make sure your browser settings are set so that pages are automatically refreshed each time they are changed. In Internet Explorer, this can be accomplished by doing the following:
From your browser menu, select Tools->Internet Options.
In the Temporary Internet Files area, click Settings.
Under Check for newer versions of stored pages, make sure the Automatically radio button is selected.
